*Vale Sangora*.

An enigmatic place, home to the events of The Blood of Dawnwalker, developed on Unreal Engine 5 by Rebel Wolves, the first chapter of a brand new role-playing saga.

14th century Europe. Bloody conflicts sweep the lands, and the Black Death comes for the survivors. In the wake of the disasters claiming thousands of lives, the decimated human population struggles for survival. It's a moment of weakness. In Vale Sangora, somewhere in a forgotten corner of the Carpathian Mountains, vampires seize their opportunity to walk out of the shadows, overthrow the feudal lords and claim what they've been denied for centuries: freedom, and ultimate power that comes with it. Legends turn into reality, and history as we know it will never be the same.

You play as Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night. Use your skills and combine vampiric strength with human resolve as you take on a quest to save the ones you love. Face your foes – be they human, monster, or the ticking clock itself. But remember – the real evil may bask in the sun's light, and the most loyal of allies could lurk under the cover of night.

Things will be different now.

For all of you.

The Rebel Wolves pack and Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. revealed the newest trailer for The Blood of Dawnwalker, confirming the game will release in 2026.

The trailer also offers the first glimpse of pre-beta gameplay footage. Watch the Showcase trailer below to follow Coen - a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, human by day and vampire by night - as he comes to grips with his newly acquired abilities.

On June 21, Rebel Wolves will reveal even more details about The Blood of Dawnwalker during the summer solstice – a moment when the Earth’s northern hemisphere experiences the longest day of the year, while the opposite hemisphere undergoes its longest night. Shrouded in tales and myths for centuries, the solstice has been seen as a time when the veil between day and night blurs, bringing unexpected outcomes.

The Rebel Wolves pack would like to invite everyone to a special solstice livestream on June 21 at 12 p.m. PDT on the DawnwalkerGame Twitch channel. The event will reveal approximately 15 minutes of new gameplay content, accompanied by an extended developer commentary. The show will be hosted in English and will be co-streaming friendly - the studio invites everybody to join and share the experience together. 

The upcoming 45-minute solstice livestream will shed more light on several key gameplay features already hinted at in the above trailer, including the directional combat system that blends swordfighting, spells, and vampiric powers. The developers will also demonstrate how players navigate Vale Sangora’s diverse locations and further explore the game world and highlight the gameplay differences between day and night, which will have a significant impact on the story and its course.

“It’s been a pleasure to finally show you more of the game, and I want to thank our community for the incredible support. Back in January, when we first revealed the game, we promised to shed more light on the gameplay this summer—and that moment has finally arrived”, says Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Game Director and Co-Founder of Rebel Wolves. “We’d like to invite you to join us on June 21 for our Gameplay Reveal Event. You’ll learn more about the abilities Coen gains as he becomes the Dawnwalker – a mysterious being balancing the line between the world of day and the realm of night.”

Key Features:

• Experience and shape the plot the way you want. Embark on the quest to save your family, or swear revenge on your sire and destroy everyone standing in your way. Discover ancient secrets lurking in the valley. Rush in head first or risk taking time to prepare. Go alone or search for friends and forge unlikely alliances.
• Experience two different gameplay loops, offering distinct abilities to choose from, mysteries to uncover, and varying ways to achieve your goals. Experiment with different approaches and discover how the world reacts to your actions.
• Every action - and inaction - shapes the world around you. Your family’s days are numbered, and every time you take on a quest, time moves forward, compelling you closer to the end. Choose carefully whom to help and whom to leave behind. You will not have time for everyone. The world waits for no one. And neither does the villain.
• Defy gravity, become a brutal force of nature, and use your supernatural skills as a vampire. Or raise your sword, and employ powerful magic to take on opponents as a human. Experiment and adapt as your form changes during the day and night; each has its strengths and weaknesses.
• Venture through the hand-crafted open world and discover all it has to offer. Roam through the lush forests, the vast plains, the treacherous swamps, the steep mountaintops, and the medieval settlements. Explore forgotten ruins, find remnants of an ancient civilization, and uncover truths that should probably remain hidden.
• Experience the beginning of a brand-new saga built with love for the role-playing genre. Immerse yourself in a visually stunning world powered by the next-gen Unreal Engine 5.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is coming to PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox X|S in 2026.
