Announced in early 2024, The Blood of Dawnwalker is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Rebel Wolves and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe.
The game is set in medieval 14th-century Europe. Bloody conflicts sweep the lands, and the Black Death comes for the survivors. In the wake of the disasters claiming thousands of lives, the decimated human population struggles for survival. It’s a moment of weakness - and that’s all they needed.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is the first chapter of Rebel Wolves’ brand new role-playing saga — a single-player open-world dark fantasy action-RPG with a strong focus on story and narrative.
You play as Coen, a young man turned into a #Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night. Use your skills and combine vampiric strength with human resolve as you take on a quest to save the ones you love. Face your foes - be they human, monster, or the ticking clock itself. But remember - the real evil may bask in the sun’s light, and the most loyal of allies could lurk under the cover of night.
Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, a director of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and head of production for Cyberpunk 2077, left his position at CD Projekt in May 2021. Having spent 17 years at the company, Tomaszkiewicz wanted to shift to smaller projects with a smaller team, hoping to avoid the challenges he faced while working on large-scale games at CD Projekt. In February 2022, it was announced that Tomaszkiewicz had founded a new studio, Rebel Wolves, which was working on its debut project. The Blood of Dawnwalker is that project.
The studio envisions the game as the first installment in an eponymous series, describing it as a dark fantasy “narrative sandbox” featuring non-linear quests set in medieval Europe. Developed on Unreal Engine 5 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox X|S, the game does not have a release date as yet. A full gameplay reveal is promised for mid-year.
