Dawnwalker Gameplay & Story Revealed

The Blood of Dawnwalker's game reveal event unveiled exciting details about this upcoming open-world dark fantasy action-RPG. Dive into the captivating world of Vale Sangora and discover more!

Welcome to Vale Sangora

Follow Coen, the Dawnwalker Protagonist

The January 16th reveal event shed light on the narrative-driven gameplay. Players embody Coen, a Dawnwalker navigating a fictional 14th-century Medieval European world, Vale Sangora. Narrative director Jakub Szamalek describes Coen as an emotionally complex and relatable protagonist, unlike typical game heroes. The trailer shows Coen's encounter with Brencis, an ancient vampire controlling Vale Sangora. Coen's mission: save his family within 30 days and nights. While the game operates on a modified time scale, players can expect extensive gameplay hours. Coen's vampiric abilities, showcased in the trailer (like superhuman agility and magic), leave fans eager for more.

Rebel Wolves addressed fan questions on their Discord server, clarifying several aspects of the game. Dawnwalkers, human by day and vampire by night, are revealed to be unique entities, not simply a hybrid. The magic system, while present, is described as less flamboyant, focusing on occult practices like rituals and relics rather than flashy spells.

A Narrative Sandbox with Rich Character Interactions

Coen, cursed with silver poisoning, strives to save his family. However, the game emphasizes player agency, offering a "narrative sandbox" experience with a flexible storyline. Players have significant control over the narrative, leading to a non-linear experience with a dynamic world influenced by their choices.

To maintain the immersive single-player experience, multiplayer and co-op modes are absent. However, romanceable characters will populate Coen's journey, allowing him to connect with diverse races like uriashi, kobolds, and potentially even werewolves.

Developed by Rebel Wolves, a studio comprised of former CD Projekt Red developers (known for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077), The Blood of Dawnwalker is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. A release date is yet to be announced.
