Rebel Wolves, a studio established by former CD Projekt RED developers, recently hosted an exciting stream where they unveiled their debut project, The Blood of Dawnwalker. The event featured a captivating four-minute cinematic trailer, which serves as the opening to the game's storyline. This dark fantasy action RPG is set to immerse players in a thrilling narrative.

Set in an alternate version of mid-14th century Europe, The Blood of Dawnwalker follows the journey of a young man named Coen. After the events shown in the intro, Coen acquires supernatural abilities and embarks on a mission to rescue his loved ones from the clutches of vampires. The urgency of his quest is underscored by a tight deadline—he has only 30 days and nights to succeed. Time progresses in the game only during specific moments, adding a layer of strategic depth as players must manage it wisely.

Throughout his journey, Coen faces significant moral dilemmas. He must choose between retaining his humanity or succumbing to his dark vampiric nature, a decision that will profoundly impact both the gameplay and the storyline. A key mechanic, Blood Hunger, requires careful management; if Coen goes too long without feeding on blood, he risks losing control and potentially killing an important character, which can lead to unforeseen consequences.

Players will enjoy the freedom to explore richly detailed environments, where many elements are influenced by the time of day. The developers have described the open world as a "narrative sandbox," offering extensive opportunities for player actions and choices.

The Blood of Dawnwalker has been in development for two years and is being crafted using Unreal Engine 5. The game is slated for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, though an exact release date has not yet been announced.
