Blood of Dawnwalker RPG – disc release, new races

Entities: Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz · The Blood of Dawnwalker · Rebel Wolves · CD Projekt RED · Sanzhana

Overview

Bandai Namco and Rebel Wolves will ship the final gold build of *The Blood of Dawnwalker* on physical disc for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on 3 September 2026, with a day‑one patch applied. The discs hold the full game data as Sony phases out PlayStation disc production by 2028. The dark‑fantasy action‑RPG follows a half‑vampire protagonist on a 30‑day (and night) countdown to rescue his family; time advances only when players trigger hourglass‑marked actions, allowing open exploration elsewhere.

Rebel Wolves confirmed the title will launch without Denuvo, without minigames, and with a save‑import feature that lets decisions affect future sequels. New folklore‑inspired races have been detailed: the Sanzhana—small, blue‑skinned beings resembling a blend of moths and humans that collect teeth and can “play with time limits” through folklore‑based temporal manipulation; and the Uriashi—towering humanoids from high‑mountain valleys with a conservative society and unique language. Both races expand quest design within the time‑limit system.

Co‑founder and former *Witcher 3* director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz emphasized that development will prioritize artistic vision, player satisfaction and community feedback over sales targets, measuring success by fan reception, awards and critical acclaim rather than copy numbers.
