Witcher 4 Team Backs Blood of Dawnwalker Authors

The gaming community took notice of The Blood of Dawnwalker, drawing parallels with The Witcher 4. Developed by former CD Projekt Red team members, its atmosphere and artistic direction bear striking similarities.

Following the debut trailer, fans sparked debates about which title might outperform the other. However, both the developers and their ex-colleagues insist such comparisons miss the point. One commenter on X captured the sentiment:

"Dawnwalker looks phenomenal, just like The Witcher 4. Both games can thrive—this isn’t a zero-sum scenario. Respect is key."

Patrick K. Mills, mission designer for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, chimed in to dismiss any notion of competition:

"Fanning comparisons does nothing but harm. Our teams share history, camaraderie, and mutual admiration—there’s only love here. These projects spring from the same roots."

Philippe Weber, The Witcher 4’s narrative director, acknowledged visual parallels between trailers:

"Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz and I laughed about how both trailers referenced Midnight Mass’s eerie 'eyes in the dark' motif. We’re rooting for each other’s success—many of us are friends!"

Rebel Wolves aims high—crafting a fresh franchise to rival industry giants. The Blood of Dawnwalker’s first glimpse suggests it could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with CDPR’s masterpieces.
