The Blood of Dawnwalker Maximizes Player-Driven Storytelling

A Singular Goal with Countless Paths

In The Blood of Dawnwalker, players pursue a central objective with multiple routes to success. As Coen, the protagonist, you navigate the game as a human by day and a vampire by night, enriching the story’s depth and complexity.

During the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, the game’s release window was revealed alongside a new trailer. In a June 9 Xbox Wire post, Rebel Wolves’ Creative Director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz highlighted the game’s focus on player agency, emphasizing how it adapts to individual choices and actions.

Tomaszkiewicz explained that the core mission is to save Coen’s family, but players decide how to achieve it. After the prologue, the game opens up, offering freedom in both exploration and storytelling. “You face a clear goal, but the paths to reach it are many,” he said.

The game’s non-linear design allows players to bypass entire story segments. Tomaszkiewicz noted, “You can side with the human rebellion or complete the game without ever encountering them.” Players can even confront the main antagonist, Brencis, at any time, choosing their approach to the battle.

Rebel Wolves has consistently emphasized the game’s freedom. Past reports indicate that Dawnwalker’s world dynamically responds to players’ actions or inaction, with the ability to eliminate key NPCs, leading to varied outcomes.

This ambitious approach draws inspiration from The Witcher 3, as Rebel Wolves includes former CD Projekt Red developers from The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. “Our narrative sandbox philosophy drives this open, player-focused storytelling,” Tomaszkiewicz said.

Gameplay Reveal Livestream Announced

Fans are eager to see Dawnwalker in action after extensive developer discussions. On June 9, Rebel Wolves announced via Twitter (X) a Gameplay Reveal Event set for June 21 at 12 PM PDT / 3 PM EDT / 9 PM CEST / 4 AM JST on their official Twitch channel.

The 45-minute livestream will feature 15 minutes of gameplay, showcasing the game’s features, including magic, traversal, and combat systems, accompanied by epic music and developer insights.

Publisher Bandai Namco noted on its website on June 8 that the livestream aligns with the summer solstice, symbolizing the game’s day-night dynamic, which significantly influences Coen’s abilities.

The developers are thrilled to unveil the first chapter of their dark fantasy saga. “It’s exciting to finally share more of the game. Thank you to our community for the incredible support. We promised gameplay details this summer, and that moment is here,” Tomaszkiewicz said.
