If you're familiar with the lineage of Rebel Wolves, the studio behind the recently-released The Blood of Dawnwalker, it may not surprise you to learn that a lot of the game's players are also fans of a certain other medieval fantasy RPG.

The short version

  • According to new data by industry analysts at Alinea Analytics , nearly 58 percent of Dawnwalker players have also played The Witcher 3 .
  • Rebel Wolves, of course, is a team made up of many former Witcher developers and CD Projekt Red alumni.
  • The games share a few other similarities, too, such as being centred around a protagonist with superpowers they didn't ask for in a world that doesn't always like or appreciate them.

What happened

Analyst Rhys Elliott also revealed in the same report that Poland is the game's second-largest market on Steam, with 11 percent of players. The US is far ahead at number one, though, with 34 percent.

Why it matters

It's clear local players showed up, given that both Rebel Wolves and CDPR are Polish studios.
