- The developers behind The Witcher 4 and The Blood of Dawnwalker wish each other the best.
- CDPR developers have stated there is no need to create a false rivalry between the two teams.
- Fans are excited to see Rebel Wolves’ upcoming title, which is being led by the director behind The Witcher 3.
The Witcher 4 was announced by CDPR last month and is led by around 100 veteran developers from the franchise. This announcement has many fans excited to see the IP’s evolution, with many awaiting Ciri’s portrayal as the protagonist.
However, another major game from the developers behind The Witcher 3 was announced recently. The Blood of Dawnwalker is being led by the director of The Witcher 3, promising a fantasy RPG experience that has already captured everyone’s attention.
With these two major reveals setting the stage for CDPR and its former developers to make a major impact on the industry, the two teams have come together to show their support for each other.
Why it matters: The gaming industry has faced many rough patches recently, so developers supporting encouraging is always a pleasant sight.
A recent tweet from user Michael Loda highlighted the current discourse around The Witcher 4 and The Blood of Dawnwalker.
Because of the controversies surrounding The Witcher 4, a vocal part of the gaming audience has begun to draw comparisons between the two, often painting one or the other in a negative light.
However, Patrick Mills from CDPR states that the team is on great terms with Rebel Wolves. He showed his support for his former colleagues, stating that developers from both studios still stay in touch.
Nothing but love here.
-Patrick K. Mills
CDPR’s senior communication manager also joined the discussion, showing his support for both upcoming RPGs.
Following these interactions, it didn’t take long for the narrative director of The Witcher 4 to show his support for Rebel Wolves. He directly addressed Tomaszkiewicz, the director of The Witcher 3 and The Blood of Dawnwalker, wishing the best to him and his team.
Lots of devs between our two game studios are friends, and we like to see our friends succeed.
-Philipp Weber
Ultimately, both teams hope to see their games succeed. The Blood of Dawnwalker will be the first to make its debut, arriving later this year. The Witcher 4, on the other hand, does not have a release date yet but should arrive within the next few years at some point.
