Former Witcher developers started a new studio known as Rebel Wolves. The seasoned developers with years of experience decided to develop their own game, The Blood of Dawnwalker.
It is a single-player third-person fantasy action RPG that has been in development for 2 years. The game is on Unreal Engine 5, and its full gameplay set is confirmed to be released in the Summer of 2025.
Some notable figures who worked at CD Projekt Red, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, and Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, are at the helm, so the fandom can have high expectations from the upcoming Dark Fantasy title.
Why it matters: Last night, the developer launched the game’s new trailer, revealing a lot of new information about the game and further increasing fans’ expectations. So, we have compiled some information to give fans an overview.
The Blood of Dawnwalker Plot
The plot of a game matters a lot to fans, as the majority prefer to be emotionally connected to a game or figure out the mysteries and consequences of certain actions.
- First of all, the story takes place in 14th-century medieval Europe in Vale Sangora.
- Vale Sangora is a kingdom which is located in the Carpathian Mountains.
- The game is inspired by Eastern European architecture and culture, including Polish log houses, Ukrainian and Balkan clothing, Romanian defensive churches, and more.
- Also, as mentioned before, it is a dark fantasy, so the area where the game takes place was devasted by plague, famine, and social unrest.
- As it is a dark fantasy, there are going to be some otherworldly beings involved, and Vampires are one of them.
- The vampires have a unique lore behind them, making them a crucial part of the story.
- The vampires watched the world from the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike and make their move when humanity was at its lowest point and overthrow the feudal lords.
- The vampires are led by Brencis, a superpowerful old vampire who wants to change the world. He has perverted old religious beliefs and taken advantage of social upheaval to become a messianic figure of sorts.
- Also, it is worth noting that the vampires have overthrown cruel and corrupt feudal lords but also kill humans to eat, hold bloody masses in church, etc.
- One more piece of information regarding vampires: old ones have a lot of teeth.
Some Gameplay Information
You will be playing as Cohen, who is a dawn wanderer. Here comes a twist: Cohen isn’t a human, and neither is a Vampire, meaning he is something in between. Does this mean he has some untapped potential that may give him the ability to rule over both? We don’t know that, but what we do know is that he can traverse both the world of humans and the world of creatures of the night.
- The project is focused on a narrative sandbox; no two playthroughs will be the same.
- You fight with swords and weapons during the day and can use vampire abilities to fight at night, explore the environment, etc.
- Your main task would be to save your family; for that, you will be given 30 in-game days and nights.
- After you complete a task or a quest, time will move forward. However, time does not move in the real world; you can manage how you use time as a resource.
- As expected, you will meet many different personalities with different goals and ambitions. You can either make them your friends or turn them into your foes.
- Bloodlust is a game mechanic where you need to feed throughout the playthrough. If you talk to someone while hungry for a long time, you may lose control and eat them, even your best friend. This mechanics seems pretty interesting.
- Fans should also note that Brencis, who leads the vampires, is an active antagonist who reacts to your actions and decisions and issues decrees in the game that welcome obstacles for the player, such as military checkpoints.
That is almost everything we know about The Blood of Dawnwalker so far. The game certainly looks pretty impressive and interesting to play. Veteran developers have been working on it for 2 years now and have implemented some unique mechanics.
In the summer of 2025, full gameplay will be revealed, and currently, the developer hasn’t revealed anything about the release date. Also, the game will be available on PC, Xbox Series S|X, and PS5.
