Developer Rebel Wolves and publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc., unveiled the first glimpse of its action role-playing game, THE BLOOD OF DAWNWALKER. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz co-founded the studio, which sets the game in an alternate 14th century in which a group of strong vampires have ousted feudal lords. Players will create their own story about preserving their family in this narrative sandbox, or following whatever course their decisions take them.

During 14th-century Europe, the Black Death strikes the survivors as bloody battles ravage the landscape. The devastated human population fights for existence in the wake of the catastrophes that have claimed thousands of lives. It’s a vulnerable moment. Vampires in Vale Sangora, a remote area of the Carpathian Mountains, take advantage of the chance to emerge from the shadows, depose the feudal lords, and obtain what they have been denied for centuries: freedom and the resulting ultimate power. History as we know it will never be the same as legends become true.
The Rebel Wolves’ original dark fantasy story begins with THE BLOOD OF DAWNWALKER. You take on the role of Coen, a young man who was transformed into a Dawnwalker and who must constantly walk the boundary between the day and night worlds. You have 30 days and nights to either save your family or vow vengeance on your father and slaughter everyone in your path. You are neither fully human nor fully vampire.
Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Game Director and Co-Founder of Rebel Wolves stated, “Inspired by classic RPGs, we want players to feel the sense of urgency in an open world game. 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.”
Coen’s character as a Dawnwalker reflects the freedom of gameplay. Players’ skills, talents, and storyline outcomes will vary depending on the time of day. Gamers have to decide whether to use the cursed powers or fight for humanity.
THE BLOOD OF DAWNWALKER is developed via Unreal Engine 5 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
