The Blood of Dawnwalker

The Blood of Dawnwalker is an open-world dark fantasy action RPG from Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by the director and key creatives behind The Witcher 3, and published by Bandai Namco. It is set in 14th-century Europe, where vampires have seized power in the wake of the Black Death, and it launched in September 2026.

You play as Coen, a Dawnwalker caught between humanity and the cursed power of the night. By day you fight with sword and magic as a human, and by night you gain supernatural vampire abilities. A 30-day in-game time limit shapes every choice you make, so decisions carry real weight. It suits you if you like story-led RPGs where your choices matter, and it sits well alongside the other titles in our RPG games range.

Choosing your edition

The game is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, in Day 1 and Collectors Editions depending on the platform. The Day 1 Edition comes with a Steelbook and a physical world map, and you can pick it up for PS5 or Xbox Series X. If you want the bigger edition, the Collectors Edition for PS5 is the one to choose. The PC Collectors Edition is a Code in a Box release, so the game itself is redeemed with a code rather than played from a disc.

Exact contents for each edition are listed on its product page, so check them before you decide between Day 1 and Collectors. A Steelbook and map make a good gift for anyone who likes to display their favourite games on the shelf.

Which platform should you buy it on?

Pick the machine you play on most, since the game is built around long sessions and a lot of reading and exploring. If you are on PlayStation, our PS5 games and PS5 new releases collections have plenty to play alongside it. Xbox owners can look at Xbox Series X games, and PC players will find more in PC games. If you like what Bandai Namco publishes, the full Bandai Namco games list is worth a look too.
