The creators of The Witcher 4 are backing the authors of The Blood of Dawnwalker. CDPR does not compete with Rebel Wolves

Gamers have been buzzing about *The Blood of Dawnwalker*, especially noting its striking similarities to *The Witcher 4*. This excitement stems from the fact that *The Blood of Dawnwalker* was crafted by former CD Projekt Red (CDPR) team members, which is evident in the game's ambiance and stylistic choices.

Following the release of the first trailer, fans have been fervently debating which game might outshine the other. However, both the developers behind these projects and their former colleagues believe such comparisons are unwarranted. An insightful comment on X encapsulated this sentiment:

“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.”

Patrick K. Mills, who contributed to missions in *The Witcher 3* and *Cyberpunk 2077*, chimed in on the discussion, stressing 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 pointed out that the trailers for both games share similar visual elements. He shared a light-hearted anecdote:

“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 that can stand toe-to-toe with established franchises. Judging by the first trailer, *The Blood of Dawnwalker* has the potential to be just as impressive as CDPR's acclaimed titles.
