Good reviews are a ‘great relief,’ says Blood of Dawnwalker director, as former CD Projekt coworkers line up to offer congratulations
Blood of Dawnwalker launches September 2 with generally positive reviews already in circulation. The horror RPG has achieved an 83/100 aggregate score on Metacritic, matching PC Gamer’s own 83% assessment, which described the title as “a resolutely miserable horror RPG with some great ideas.” The consistent positive reception represents what creative director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz called “a great relief,” given the anticipation surrounding the game’s launch.
Tomaszkiewicz shared his reaction on social media, expressing how nerve-wracking the review period had been before the results came in. He voiced gratitude toward his team’s contributions and anticipation for player experiences with the finished product. The positive critical reception has generated congratulations from his former colleagues at CD Projekt, reflecting goodwill within the development community and suggesting the project represents a successful venture for those involved.
The game marks a notable release from developers with significant industry experience, particularly given the CD Projekt Red connections among key team members.
