Rebel Wolves and Bandai Namco have announced an early September release date for the open-world dark-fantasy action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker. They also released a new story trailer that introduces the game’s cast of characters and showcases new locations across Vale Sangora, a mysterious region in the Carpathian Mountains. The Blood of Dawnwalker will launch digitally and physically for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is set in 14th-century Europe, where bloody conflicts sweep the lands and Black Death comes for all who survive. In this moment of weakness, Vampires are the first to seize their opportunity for freedom and the power that comes with it. Other creatures of the night follow their lead. Legends are now reality.
Players take on the role of Coen, a young man who is a Dawnwalker: no longer fully human but not quite a vampire either. He shares strengths and weaknesses from both worlds. Follow Coen as he fights to save his family from a vampire lord. Navigate alliances and confrontations as his choices shape the story and the gameplay.
Here are the game’s key features, via Bandai Namco:
- Make the Story Your Own – Experience and shape the plot the way you want. Embark on the quest to save your family, or swear revenge on your sire and destroy everyone standing in your way. Discover ancient secrets lurking in the valley. Rush in headfirst or risk taking time to prepare. Go alone or search for friends and forge unlikely alliances.
- Day and Night – Experience two different gameplay loops, offering distinct abilities to choose from, mysteries to uncover, and varying ways to achieve your goals. Experiment with different approaches and discover how the world reacts to your actions.
- Every Action Matters – Every action—and inaction—shapes the world around you. Your family’s days are numbered, and every time you take on a quest, time moves forward, compelling you closer to the end. Choose carefully whom to help and whom to leave behind. You will not have time for everyone. The world waits for no one. And neither does the villain.
- Sword, Claws, and Rage – Defy gravity, become a brutal force of nature, and use your supernatural skills as a vampire. Or raise your sword, and employ powerful magic to take on opponents as a human. Experiment and adapt as your form changes during the day and night; each has its strengths and weaknesses.
- Open World Brimming with Adventure – Venture through the hand-crafted open world and discover all it has to offer. Roam through the lush forests, the vast plains, the treacherous swamps, the steep mountaintops, and the medieval settlements. Explore forgotten ruins, find remnants of an ancient civilization, and uncover truths that should probably remain hidden.
- Become the Dawnwalker – Experience the beginning of a brand-new saga built with love for the role-playing genre. Immerse yourself in a visually stunning world powered by the next-gen Unreal Engine 5.
