The Blood of Dawnwalker (Steelbook Cover - NO GAME) / PlayStation 5

The Blood of Dawnwalker

Captured on PC from the latest pre-beta build of the game, the trailer footage reflects the actual game state as of today without any additional post-capture cleanup. This footage does not represent the final level of quality and polish of the game, and Rebel Wolves is committed to transparent and honest communication that presents the game in its latest production environment. This is to give players a clear understanding of how the project will evolve over time.

Vale Sangora

Step into the gripping world of The Blood of Dawnwalker, where exploration and player choice shape Coen’s journey. Unveiled during the Summer Solstice gameplay showcase, Vale Sangora serves as the heart of this immersive narrative offering players freedom to traverse its landscapes, from swamps and towering mountains to abandoned ruins and shadowy caves and the horrors within them. Svartrau, the region’s largest city, contrasts starkly between day and night where bustling medieval life masks the influence of a vampire regime by day, while moonlit rooftops reveal hidden secrets after dark, with residents reacting to the player’s choices and behavior.

Coen’s duality and combat
As a Dawnwalker, Coen is neither fully human nor entirely vampire. By day, he can wield both a sword and use magical runes in the form of bloody scars etched on his skin. However, at night, Coen embraces his supernatural instincts, and unlocks an entirely new powerset. His nocturnal abilities include lethal vampiric claws and Shadowstep, a skill that allows him to swiftly navigate across rooftops. The Blood of Dawnwalker uses a directional combat system designed to bring cinematic intensity and tactical challenge to every confrontation. Players must study enemy movements, block precisely, and time counterattacks to execute seamless, strategic takedowns.

The vampire nature

As a Dawnwalker, Coen grapples with his relentless bloodlust that intensifies at night. Accompanied by visual cues during gameplay, players can help Coen satisfy his hunger in various ways – by drinking the blood of defeated foes, including vampires, innocent villagers, or animals, or by using special blood vials. If left unsatisfied, this craving not only weakens Coen’s abilities and vitality but, in critical moments, may cause him to lose control, and unintentionally cause the death of an important story character.
