Publisher Bandai Namco and developer Rebel Wolves have released the reveal trailer and gameplay teaser for the upcoming action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker. The game is being directed by Witcher 3 director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz. The trailer shows a cutscene introducing the main character and some gameplay segments. In the game, players play “as Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night. Not fully human, not entirely a vampire, you have 30 days and nights to save your family or swear revenge on your sire and destroy everyone standing in your way.”
Rebel Wolves game director and co-founder Konrad Tomaszkiewicz comment on the announcement in a press release:
“Inspired by classic RPGs, we want players to feel the sense of urgency in an open world game,” said “There are multiple approaches to saving Coen’s family with no clear division between main and side quests, you decide on how you spend the time. Time is a resource and with each quest progressing its passage, it is impossible to complete all stories and arcs before the dreadful deadline, making each playthrough unique. We call it a narrative sandbox.”
The game’s details:
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. Developed on Unreal Engine 5 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
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. In Vale Sangora, somewhere in a forgotten corner of the Carpathian Mountains, vampires seize their opportunity to walk out of the shadows, overthrow the feudal lords and claim what they’ve been denied for centuries: freedom, and ultimate power that comes with it. Legends turn into reality, and history as we know it will never be the same.
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. Not fully human, not entirely a vampire, you have 30 days and nights to save your family or swear revenge on your sire and destroy everyone standing in your way.
The freedom in gameplay is reflected in Coen’s very nature as a Dawnwalker. Depending on the time of day, players will have different skills, abilities and storyline outcomes. Players must choose: do they fight for humanity or embrace the cursed powers?
