Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by former CD Projekt RED developers, recently hosted an exciting stream where they unveiled their debut project, The Blood of Dawnwalker. During the event, fans were treated to a captivating four-minute cinematic trailer, which not only showcased the game's dark fantasy action RPG elements but also served as the opening to its storyline.

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 dramatic events portrayed in the game's introduction, Coen acquires supernatural powers and embarks on a mission to save his loved ones from the clutches of vampires. The twist? He has only 30 days and nights to complete his quest. Time in the game advances during specific gameplay moments, requiring players to manage it wisely to succeed.

Throughout his journey, Coen will confront moral dilemmas that challenge him to either maintain his humanity or give in to his dark vampiric urges. These choices will significantly impact both the gameplay and the unfolding narrative. A central mechanic, known as Blood Hunger, adds tension; if Coen goes too long without feeding on blood, he risks losing control and potentially killing key characters, resulting in unforeseen consequences.

Players will enjoy the freedom to explore richly detailed environments, where the time of day plays a crucial role in shaping various aspects of the game world. The developers have described The Blood of Dawnwalker as a "narrative sandbox," offering extensive opportunities for player-driven actions and decisions.

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