Developed by Rebel Wolves, a studio made up of veterans from CD Projekt RED, The Blood of Dawnwalker is shaping up to be a promising dark fantasy open-world RPG. Following the release of its first trailer, player interest has grown significantly, even though the game’s release is still some time away.
The AAA quality
Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, creative director of the title, has participated in several interviews where he has shared surprising details about the direction of the project. In particular, he has focused on the intention to offer a high-quality experience similar to that of The Witcher 3, although with a significantly shorter duration, estimating between 30 and 40 hours of campaign. This will represent a change in the narrative, making it tighter and more direct compared to CD Projekt RED’s previous works.
A when asked about the game’s classification, Tomaszkiewicz has been clear in stating that they do not seek to be categorized as a AA or AAA title. In terms of quality, we are definitely looking at AAA because that is where we come from, he commented. However, he also emphasized that their focus is on creating a game that, although shorter, maintains a solidity comparable to the acclaimed RPG of 2015. The comparison to a monster like The Witcher is foolish, he added, referring to the length and complexity of the previous installment that allowed players to accumulate hundreds of hours.
The close relationship of the team with the development of The Witcher 3 serves as a solid foundation, although with the aim of achieving a challenging balance between quality and duration. As the release approaches, the gaming community is becoming increasingly excited about the potential that The Blood of Dawnwalker promises to offer.
