"Blood of Dawnwalker: New RPG Unveiled by CD Projekt RED Veterans"

Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by former developers from CD Projekt RED, recently hosted a stream to unveil their debut project, The Blood of Dawnwalker. The event featured a captivating four-minute cinematic trailer that sets the stage for this dark fantasy action RPG. This trailer not only promises an immersive experience but also serves as the opening to the game's intricate 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 showcased in the intro, Coen acquires supernatural powers and embarks on a mission to rescue his loved ones from the clutches of vampires. The urgency of his quest is underscored by a strict time limit—only 30 days and nights to complete his task. Time progresses during specific gameplay moments, requiring players to manage it wisely to succeed.

Throughout his journey, Coen faces profound moral dilemmas: whether to maintain his humanity or embrace his emerging vampiric nature. This pivotal choice influences both the gameplay mechanics and the narrative arc of the game. A central gameplay element is the concept of Blood Hunger. If Coen neglects to feed on blood, he risks losing control and potentially harming or even killing significant characters, which can lead to unforeseen consequences and alter the story's direction.

Players will have the freedom to explore richly detailed environments, where the time of day significantly impacts various aspects of the game. The developers have described the open world as a "narrative sandbox," offering extensive opportunities for player interaction and decision-making.

The Blood of Dawnwalker has been in development for two years and utilizes the power of Unreal Engine 5. The game is slated for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, although an exact release date has yet to be announced.
