The Blood of Dawnwalker

The Blood of Dawnwalker is an open-world dark fantasy action RPG developed by Rebel Wolves and published by Bandai Namco, releasing September 3, 2026. Set in 14th-century Europe, it follows Coen, a Dawnwalker who is human by day and vampire by night.

It was developed by Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz — director of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — along with other veterans from CD Projekt Red who worked on The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.

The game releases on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on September 3, 2026.

The Day 1 Edition includes the base game, a Steelbook case, and a physical world map. All editions pre-ordered before launch also include the Sangoran Wayfarer's Armor Set as a bonus - note this is a pre-order bonus and may not be available after launch.

It shares DNA - the same director and many key creatives from The Witcher 3 - and is a narrative-driven open-world RPG with a strong focus on choice and consequence. The developers have welcomed Witcher comparisons directly; reviewers who've played it have also drawn comparisons to the combat style of Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
