Actor Sam Witwer, who voices the lead character in the upcoming vampire action-RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker, has revealed that he was "slightly too excited" during his audition for developer Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by veterans of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. In the interview, Witwer admitted he had researched the project beforehand and let his enthusiasm show more than he perhaps should have, quipping, "I probably shouldn't have looked that up." The anecdote offers a lighthearted glimpse into the casting process for one of the more anticipated RPGs led by ex-CD Projekt Red talent.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is being developed by Rebel Wolves, a Polish studio staffed by developers who previously worked on CD Projekt Red's flagship titles. Witwer, known for voice roles across games and other media, is attached as a star of the project, and his comments were shared in a promotional interview highlighting the game's development. The piece frames his audition eagerness as a sign of his personal investment in the role and the project's pedigree.
