The Blood of Dawnwalker just held its game reveal event, providing fans with exciting new details about this highly anticipated open-world dark fantasy action-RPG. Dive in to learn more about what awaits in the shadowy realm of Vale Sangora!

Welcome To Vale Sangora

Follow The Dawnwalker Protagonist, Coen

The Blood of Dawnwalker's official game reveal event took place on January 16th, shedding light on the narrative-driven experience set in the fictional 14th-century Medieval European land of Vale Sangora. Players will embody Coen, the Dawnwalker protagonist, whose life oscillates between day and night. Jakub Szamalek, the narrative director, describes Coen as an unconventional hero: "He's a young guy who at heart is emotional, he can get vulnerable, he's honest about how he feels." The reveal trailer introduces Coen's confrontation with the antagonist, Brencis, an ancient vampire who has usurped control over Vale Sangora. Amidst a decaying human civilization, Coen's mission is to rescue his family within a constrained timeline of 30 days and nights. Developers have clarified that the in-game time flow will allow for extensive gameplay.

The trailer showcases Coen's superhuman abilities, stemming from his vampiric nature, such as sliding down towering structures unscathed and phasing between enemies. He's also depicted wielding magic, hurling magic missiles at will. Given the game's early stage, many fan queries remain, prompting Rebel Wolves to address these on their official Discord server.

In the game’s Discord FAQ channel, Rebel Wolves delves deeper into the concept of Dawnwalkers. These beings appear human by day but transform into vampires at night, yet they are not simply hybrids. They represent a unique existence between both worlds. The game’s magic system is grounded and rare, focusing on the occult with rituals, amulets, relics, and summonings rather than typical fantasy spells like fireballs or lightning bolts.

A Narrative Sandbox Experience With Lots Of People To Meet

Coen, cursed with silver poisoning, embarks on a mission to save his family from looming peril. Despite this central quest, The Blood of Dawnwalker promises a "narrative sandbox" experience, emphasizing player agency and the freedom to explore multiple storylines to reach a single goal. The game's world is dynamic, responding to player choices, offering a nonlinear journey.

To maintain the immersive single-player experience, there will be no multiplayer or co-op modes. However, Coen will have the opportunity to form romantic connections and interact with a diverse cast of characters, including uriashi, kobolds, and even werewolves.

Rebel Wolves, composed of former CD Projekt Red developers with experience on titles like The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, is behind this project. While no specific release date has been announced, The Blood of Dawnwalker is confirmed for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
