The Blood of Dawnwalker Is a Serious Witcher 3 Competitor, and It’s Launching Soon
“The Blood of Dawnwalker,” an upcoming open-world RPG from Rebel Wolves, is being positioned as a serious competitor to CD Projekt Red’s acclaimed “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.” Launching on September 2, 2026, the game will be available on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
The project carries particular significance due to its leadership: Konrad Tomazkiewicz, who served as game director on The Witcher 3, now holds the position of co-founder, CEO, and game director at Rebel Wolves. This veteran talent brings substantial credibility to the new title, which has been described as heavily influenced by Witcher 3’s design philosophy and gameplay style.
The Witcher 3 remains a benchmark for open-world RPG design even 11 years after its 2015 release, consistently maintaining over 20,000 concurrent players daily. Given this legacy, The Blood of Dawnwalker’s positioning as a spiritual successor represents a notable entry in the competitive open-world RPG market. The game also benefits from other veteran industry talent in senior creative roles, suggesting substantial experience behind this new venture.
