Gamers have taken notice of The Blood of Dawnwalker and are drawing parallels to The Witcher 4, especially given that the project was crafted by former CD Projekt Red (CDPR) staff members. The similarities in ambiance and style are evident, sparking discussions among fans about which game might outshine the other. However, both the developers and their former colleagues believe these comparisons are unwarranted.
Following the release of the first trailer, fans have been vocal about their excitement and speculation. An X user encapsulated the sentiment well, stating:
"Dawnwalker looks amazing, just like The Witcher 4. Both works can coexist. One game doesn't mean the other is dead. It's not a competition. Let's show respect."
Patrick K. Mills, who contributed to the missions in The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, added his perspective to the conversation. He stressed the absence of rivalry between the teams:
"Anyone who tries to compare these games is doing the devil's work. The teams have a long history together, we hang out together, we play games together, our group chats are full of praise for each team. There's nothing but love here. The culture war will remain a culture war, but these games share a common origin and common values."
Philippe Weber, the narrative director for The Witcher 4, also chimed in, noting the visual similarities between the trailers of the two games:
"Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz and I were joking today about how the eyes in the dark in our two trailers were used as references to the TV series Midnight Mass to sell the idea early on. Many of the creators of the two games are friends, and we love seeing our friends succeed!"
Rebel Wolves, the studio behind The Blood of Dawnwalker, has set an ambitious goal to create a new series of games that can stand toe-to-toe with established franchises. Based on the first trailer, The Blood of Dawnwalker appears poised to be an equally impressive project as those from CDPR.
