Story Highlight
  • Konrad Tomaszkiewicz states that he feels quite confident about The Blood of Dawnwalker.
  • The developer does not mind his upcoming game being compared to The Witcher, noting that feedback so far has been incredibly positive.
  • The Blood of Dawnwalker is currently set to launch at some point in 2026.

Led by the former director of The Witcher 3, Rebel Wolves is currently hard at work on The Blood of Dawnwalker. This upcoming RPG has shown plenty of potential so far, invoking excitement among fans of the genre.

 The Blood of Dawnwalker has also attracted comparisons to The Witcher, and with the upcoming release of The Witcher 4, competition between the two is practically unavoidable. Discussing the situation, the Rebel Wolves CEO recently stated that he doesn’t mind these comparisons.

Why it matters: Many consider CDPR’s work on The Witcher 3 a benchmark for open-world RPGs, leaving Rebel Wolves’ upcoming game with a high bar to live up to.

Speaking to Chris Dring from The Game Business, Rebel Wolves boss Konrad Tomaszkiewicz addressed the comparisons being made between The Blood of Dawnwalker and The Witcher.

Chris Dring noted that the footage shown so far appears reminiscent of The Witcher, and Konrad Tomaszkiewicz stated that he is quite comfortable with these comparisons, largely because the team believes it has something special on its hands.

He confirmed that the game has already moved forward into the focus testing phase after being initally tried by friends and family. All signs so far indicate at major success for Rebel Wolves’ upcoming RPG.

I feel really confident about our game. The feedback is really good.
