Gamers have started to take notice of *The Blood of Dawnwalker*, drawing inevitable comparisons to the much-anticipated *The Witcher 4*. This new project, crafted by former CD Projekt Red (CDPR) staff members, showcases a striking similarity in ambiance and style, sparking widespread discussion among fans. Following the release of the first trailer, the gaming community has been abuzz, speculating about which game might outshine the other. However, both the developers behind *The Blood of Dawnwalker* and their former colleagues at CDPR have made it clear that such comparisons are unwarranted and unproductive.
An X user eloquently summed up the sentiment, saying, “Dawnwalker looks amazing, just like The Witcher 4. Both works can exist together. One game doesn't mean the other is dead. It's not a competition. Let's show respect.” This view was echoed by Patrick K. Mills, a veteran developer who contributed to *The Witcher 3* and *Cyberpunk 2077*. He stated, “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.”
Adding to the conversation, Philippe Weber, the narrative director for *The Witcher 4*, highlighted the shared visual influences between the trailers of both games. He mentioned, “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. From the first trailer, it's evident that *The Blood of Dawnwalker* has the potential to be as impressive as CDPR's acclaimed works. The gaming community eagerly awaits to see how this new saga unfolds, hoping for a future where both games can thrive and be celebrated for their unique contributions to the gaming world.
