Rebel Wolves, a studio established by former CD Projekt RED developers, recently unveiled their debut title, The Blood of Dawnwalker, in a comprehensive livestream. The presentation included a captivating four-minute cinematic trailer, serving as the game's opening narrative sequence.
Set in a 14th-century alternate Europe, The Blood of Dawnwalker follows Coen, a young man who acquires supernatural abilities after the events depicted in the trailer. His mission: rescue his loved ones from a vampire threat within a strict 30-day deadline. While time progresses strategically during gameplay, careful time management is crucial.
Coen faces a compelling moral conflict: embrace his newfound vampiric nature or cling to his humanity. This pivotal choice significantly impacts both gameplay mechanics and the overarching narrative. A core gameplay element is "Blood Hunger," forcing players to strategically feed Coen to prevent him from losing control and potentially harming key characters, resulting in unforeseen consequences.
Players will explore richly detailed environments, with dynamic changes influenced by the time of day. The developers describe the open world as a "narrative sandbox," offering extensive player agency and freedom.
Developed over two years using Unreal Engine 5, The Blood of Dawnwalker is slated for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. A specific release date remains unannounced.
