The Blood of Dawnwalker launches on September 3, 2026 for PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. No last-gen (PS4/Xbox One) versions have been announced.
Coen is the player character — a man cursed with vampirism who retains his humanity, making him a Dawnwalker: neither fully human nor fully vampire. By day he fights as a mortal swordsman; at night he unlocks vampiric powers such as wall-running, Shadowstep teleportation, claw attacks, and blood-draining. His driving goal is to save his family within 30 in-game days before the vampire lord Brencis executes them.
No — time only advances when you complete specific story-relevant objectives or trigger a day-to-night transition. Free roaming, looting, and side exploration do not consume days. The developers designed this so players feel narrative urgency without being punished for taking their time in the open world of Vale Sangora.
It's made by Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by several veterans of CD Projekt Red — including former directors and leads who worked on The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. Rebel Wolves is an independent studio; the game is published by Bandai Namco, not CD Projekt Red.
