The open-world dark fantasy action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker is launching on September 3. The game has players take on the role of Coen, human by day and vampire by night. He's fighting to save their family in a story shaped by their actions and the secrets they uncover.
The game is being offered for $69.99. For those who are looking to get more, there's the Eclipse Edition that's available for $79.99. Aside from the full game, this edition also has the Digital World Compendium, Digital Soundtrack, and Digital Comic Book.
Those who manage to pre-order the game can get their hands on the Sangoran Wayfarer's Armor Set. This armor set is adorned with an emblem of a nameless smith who travelled across the continent in pursuit of inspiration.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is set in 14th-century Europe where bloody conflicts have swept the lands with the Black Death coming for the survivors. Vampires seize their opportunity to walk out of the shadows and claim the freedom they've been denied for centuries and the power that comes with it.
The game has players take on the role of Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker and forever has to tread the line between the world of day and the realm of night. As a Dawnwalker, Coen can wield both a sword and use magical runes in the form of bloody scars etched on his skin during the day. However, at night, Coen embraces his supernatural instincts, and unlocks an entirely new powerset. His nocturnal abilities include lethal vampiric claws and Shadowstep, which is a skill that allows him to swiftly navigate across rooftops.
The Blood of Dawnwalker makes use of a directional combat system that's designed to bring cinematic intensity and tactical challenge to each confrontation. Players need to study enemy movements, block precisely, and time counterattacks to execute seamless, strategic takedowns.
One interesting feature of the game is that players can shape the plot the way they want. For example, they can choose to go on a quest to save their family or maybe swear revenge on their sire and destroy everyone standing in their way.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is releasing for the PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
