The trailer features the latest pre-beta build of the game. What this means is that it reflects the actual game state as of today and didn't have any additional post-capture cleanup. The studio reminded everyone that the footage doesn't represent the final level of quality and polish of the game. Rebel Wolves assured everyone that they're committed to transparent and honest communication.

Meet the Dawnwalker

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.

More Details Soon

Rebel Wolves revealed that they’ll soon reveal more details about the game. The full recording of the event, which was originally presented on Twitch, is going to be available shortly in 4K. Once that’s done, it means all players get another chance to hear the latest track from the game's official soundtrack. It’s “Battle of Retribution” composed by Nikola Kołodziejczyk.

The Blood of Dawnwalker uses 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. The Blood of Dawnwalker is coming out in 2026 and available for the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. For the PC, players can now wishlist the game on Steam.
