Rebel Wolves, along with Bandai Namco Entertainment America, announced that The Blood of Dawnwalker is now available for the PC, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series X/S. This dark fantasy open-world action RPG invites players to a narrative adventure where each choice comes with consequences.
As part of the announcement, a launch trailer has been released which can be viewed here.
The Blood of Dawnwalker was first announced back in 2024 and the launch itself marks more than four years of development. It is the first game to come from Rebel Wolves.
Game Director and Co-Founder of Rebel Wolves Konrad Tomaszkiewicz shared that when development of the game started four years ago, it was a small group of friends who wanted to create what they believed would be a truly unique RPG.
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.
