CD Projekt crew congratulate Blood of Dawnwalker director
The world of gaming just got a little brighter, thanks to the buzz surrounding the release of The Blood of Dawnwalker. While the game itself is set to drop on September 2nd, the critical response has already landed, offering a dose of good news for fans eager to dive into this intense horror RPG.
The initial reviews have painted a picture that is both demanding and ultimately rewarding. Critics have given the game a strong aggregate rating, with the title achieving an impressive 83/100 on Metacritic. PCGameR’s review, for instance, titled it a resolutely miserable horror RPG with some great ideas, suggesting that while the experience is challenging, the underlying concepts are solid.
This positive reaction brought a welcome wave of relief to the creative team. Creative director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, who has been navigating the wait for reviews with palpable tension, expressed his gratitude and excitement. He shared his relief on social media, acknowledging the privilege of working with such a talented group and looking forward to the community’s input.
Tomaszkiewicz’s journey to this project is steeped in industry experience. Before joining the team behind The Blood of Dawnwalker, he honed his skills as a quest designer on foundational titles like The Witcher 2 and led quest design for The Witcher 3, and served as a game director on Cyberpunk 2077. This deep background ensures that the intensity and narrative ambition of this new title are built upon a foundation of masterful design.
The enthusiasm surrounding the project wasn’t limited to the development team; former colleagues across the industry weighed in to offer their congratulations. Esteemed figures, including Paweł Sasko, Sebastian Kalemba, Miles Tost, and Marcin Momot, along with other respected names like P.T. Adamczyk and Daniel Vavra, echoed the sentiment that this collaboration represents something special. This collective support underscores the high caliber of the talent involved.
The excitement is now palpable as players prepare for the launch. The Blood of Dawnwalker is available for pre-purchase on both Steam and GOG, setting the stage for a thrilling adventure. The game is scheduled to go live at 6 pm ET on September 2nd, inviting everyone to experience the world crafted by this talented team.
