The Blood of Dawnwalker Gameplay and Story Unveiled in Game Reveal Event

The Blood of Dawnwalker just held its game reveal event, providing fans with an exciting glimpse into the upcoming open-world dark fantasy action-RPG. Dive in to discover more about this enthralling new game!

Welcome to Vale Sangora

Follow the Dawnwalker Protagonist, Coen

The Blood of Dawnwalker unveiled its narrative-driven world on January 16th, inviting players to step into the boots of Coen, the Dawnwalker protagonist. Set in the fictional 14th-century Medieval European land of Vale Sangora, Coen navigates a life that straddles the line between day and night. Narrative director Jakub Szamalek describes Coen as an emotional and vulnerable young man, far from the typical game hero. In the game's trailer, Coen confronts the ancient vampire Brencis, who has seized control of Vale Sangora. As human civilization crumbles, Coen embarks on a mission to save his family within 30 days and nights, though the developers assure that the game's time flow allows for extensive gameplay.

The trailer showcases Coen's superhuman abilities, including sliding down buildings unscathed and phasing through enemies. He also wields magic, throwing magic missiles at will. Despite the game's early stage, it has sparked numerous questions from eager fans.

Rebel Wolves, the developers behind The Blood of Dawnwalker, took to their official Discord server to address these queries. In a dedicated FAQ channel, they clarified the nature of Dawnwalkers. These beings appear human during the day but transform into vampires at night. However, Rebel Wolves emphasizes that Dawnwalkers are not simply half-human, half-vampire hybrids but a unique entity. The game's magic system, less flashy than typical fantasy settings, focuses on the occult—rituals, amulets, relics, and summonings—rather than traditional spells like fireballs or lightning bolts.

A Narrative Sandbox Experience with Lots of People to Meet

Coen, tainted by silver poisoning, is determined to save his family from doom. Yet, the game is designed as a "narrative sandbox," offering players maximum control over the story. With one clear goal but numerous paths to achieve it, the game promises a nonlinear experience where the world evolves based on player choices.

The Blood of Dawnwalker will remain a single-player experience to maintain the integrity of this narrative journey. However, players will encounter romanceable characters to keep Coen company, along with a diverse cast including uriashi, kobolds, and possibly even werewolves.

Rebel Wolves, founded by former CD Projekt Red developers who worked on The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, has not yet announced a release window for The Blood of Dawnwalker. The game is confirmed for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, promising an immersive experience in the dark fantasy realm of Vale Sangora.
