The Blood of Dawnwalker story revolves around a group of characters that the game’s protagonist, Coen, will encounter on his journey. Some of these characters will become allies or enemies, though all of them are set to play a vital role in your journey and the game’s story. We also got a first good look at the Vale Sangora, a mysterious region in the Carpathian Mountains, and offered deeper insight into the creative process behind bringing the game’s open world to life.
For those who may not have heard bout the game title before, it is a vampire action-RPG set in 14th-century Europe. Bloody conflicts sweep the lands, and the Black Death comes for the survivors, and vampires seize their opportunity to walk out of the shadows and claim the freedom they’ve been denied for centuries, as well as the power that comes with it.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is being developed by Rebel Wolves, a team of Witcher Veterans, on Unreal Engine 5 and will be available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. For more information on this and other upcoming RPGs coming out next year, be sure to check back to Simulation Daily.
