The Blood of Dawnwalker increasingly sounds like an RPG that doesn't want to hold the player's hand. The studio Rebel Wolves, which includes former authors of The Witcher 3, has once again emphasized how important freedom of choice and the consequences of decisions will be in this game.
The main goal of the game is very simple: to save the family of the main character Coen. To do this, the player must attack the castle ruled by a vampire lord and confront him. Interestingly, according to the lead quest designer Rafał Jankowski, there are no additional mandatory conditions that the player must fulfill before the finale.
This does not mean that rushing to the castle right at the beginning will be a smart idea. Most players will likely seek allies, develop abilities, and gather knowledge about enemies through numerous quests. Director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz describes almost every quest as meaningful “side” content that together builds a complete experience.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with the game's release expected on September 3, 2026.
