Rebel Wolves, a new studio filled with designers who previously worked on Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red, has formally revealed and titled its debut open-world vampire RPG after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:some teasers last year. The Blood of Dawnwalker is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the "fiꦿrst chapter" in a new "role-playing saga," and it looks good so far.

Given its pedigree, some people have understandably drawn comparisons to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 4 on the heels of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:its own full reveal, with some folks t🔥ransparently▨ looking to dismiss or divide. The devs who are still at CDPR working on games like The Witcher 4 aren't having any of it, instead stressing the mutual support between them and Rebel Wolves.

The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 quest designer Patrick Mills. "These teams have a long history together, we hang out together, we play games together, our group chats are full of kudos to the respective teams. Nothing but love here."

In a follow-up post, Mills z🌼eroed in on one of the🅠 louder minorities in this needless debate: "Culture war gonna culture war but these games have shared lineage and shared values." CDPR senior communication manager Pawel Burza with a simple question: why not both?

The Witcher 4 narrative director Philipp Weber echoed Mills' poi𝓰nt in , again sharing from user Michael Loda. "We joked today with [Dawnwalker creative director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz] about how the eyes in darkness for both our trailers used references from Midnight Mass to sell the idea early on," Weber said. "Lots of devs between our two games and studios are friends, and 💦we like to see our friends succeed!"

Tomaszkiewicz also , agreeing with Loda's post arguing that "both [games] can exist together. One doesn't mean the other is dead. It's not a competition. Have some respect." Likewise, Rebel Wolves marketing lead Paweł Panasiuk shared Loda's post : "Thank you for this."

The correct response to these loosely parallel RPGs is, of course, the same response to getting two cakes on your birthday – two cakes we know just next to nothing about, mind. Just enjoy having two cakes! And ignore anyone who says you haveꦅ to pick one because they're too angry to enjoy two cakes.

10 years later, "around 100" Witcher 3 devs are still at CD Projekt Red working on games like The Witcher 4 .
