Rebel Wolves, a studio composed of former developers of ‘The Witcher 3’, announced its upcoming vampire-themed RPG, ‘The Blood of Dawnwalker’. The game is set in the Sangora Valley, a region inspired by the Carpathian Basin, and follows a protagonist named Koen who has been transformed into a vampire.

Subsequent updates revealed that the game is an open-world action-RPG developed in collaboration with Bandai Namco. New gameplay details highlighted a strict time management system where players have 30 days and 30 nights to save Koen’s family. The narrative is shaped by player decisions regarding mission selection, which ultimately influences a confrontation with the vampire lord, Brencis. Combat mechanics include ‘Omniattack’ and ‘Omniblock’ systems, alongside a directional mode.

Recent reveals have clarified that the protagonist is a ‘Dawnwalker’—a creature that is human during the day and a vampire at night. The setting is a 14th-century Carpathian region plagued by war and pestilence. This title is intended to serve as the first chapter in a larger narrative saga, with future installments planned to explore different eras and cultures. The game is scheduled for release on September 3, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

As the release date approaches, Rebel Wolves and Bandai Namco Entertainment released the official launch trailer. The trailer reinforces the dark fantasy setting of the Vale Sangora and the central conflict against the tyrannical vampire lord Brencis.
