The Blood of Dawnwalker – watch the official launch trailer

“All of us here at Rebel Wolves are counting down the days to launch of our first game. We can’t wait for the moment when players step into Vale Sangora and come face-to-face with Brencis and his vampire clique. We also hope that today’s trailer will encourage even more players to visit our booth at gamescom in Hall 6.1 and try our game.” - says Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Game Director and Co-Founder of Rebel Wolves.

On September 3, players will step into the dark world of The Blood of Dawnwalker to write the story of Coen, a young man who was turned into the titular Dawnwalker - human by day, and a vampire by night. In the world created by Rebel Wolves, every decision has consequences that directly shape both the gameplay and the story. In a world ravaged by wars, plagues, and rebellions under the rule of ruthless vampires, nothing is ever truly black and white.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is an open-world action RPG set in the atmospheric setting of the Carpathian Mountains. This land is filled not only with beautiful landscapes, but also with myths, beliefs, and mysteries hidden within its forests, roadside shrines, and ancient ruins. From the very beginning, the game will give players the freedom to explore the world at their own pace, discover quests, uncover points of interest, and seek out secrets, mysteries, and treasures waiting to be discovered.

And this is just the beginning. Rebel Wolves has already revealed that future installments of Dawnwalker saga will take players to new eras and cultures, each offering its own setting and experience.

The Blood of Dawnwalker, the first game by Rebel Wolves, is developed using Unreal Engine 5 and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game will launch on September 3 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders on all platforms are available, and players can add the game to their wishlist.

REBEL WOLVES UNVEILS MORE OF THE BLOOD OF DAWNWALKER AND TEASES THE FUTURE OF DAWNWALKER SAGA

Press Release • 05 Jun 2026 22:38

The villains of The Blood of Dawnwalker were in the spotlight of the Summer Game Fest trailers, but the saga has only just begun, and a journey across eras and continents awaits. The future of the series aims to take players across different eras in history, introducing new locations, antagonists, and stories.

During Summer Game Fest 2026, Rebel Wolves, together with Bandai Namco Entertainment, revealed a new trailer for The Blood of Dawnwalker – a dark fantasy open-world action RPG that will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on September 3. At the same event, the studio presented a CGI teaser, offering a glimpse into the future direction of the series.

The CGI teaser shows where the dark fantasy saga is heading. Players can see Coen in completely different surroundings than the ones they are used to – a modern, 21st-century setting, offering a glimpse of where the overarching plot ultimately leads. As the developers revealed, the next installments of Dawnwalker franchise will span centuries, continents, and cultures across the globe.

The gameplay trailer focuses on what players can expect on September 3, when the game launches. The Blood of Dawnwalker will follow Coen’s origin story and his feud with Brencis, the vampire lord of Vale Sangora, a mysterious region in the Carpathian Mountains. This journey will end with a definitive and self-contained conclusion, shaped by the choices made by players during the adventure. The developers confirmed that the game is set entirely in the 14th century, free of cliffhangers or unresolved plot threads.

I have a feeling that today’s presentation may have surprised many of you who did not expect Coen’s saga to move into modern times. However, I would like to emphasize that each installment in the series will be a standalone game with its own story, without narrative cliffhangers, unresolved plot threads, or time travel ideas. Since forming Rebel Wolves, we have been very clear that we aim for The Blood of Dawnwalker to be a self-contained story, and now, as we approach the release of the first chapter, we wanted to shed a bit more light on our wider perspective and tease where the story ultimately leads - explains Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Game Director and Co-Founder of Rebel Wolves.

I love the potential that lies within Coen, as well as his powers and abilities as a Dawnwalker. His journey begins in a dark 14th-century fantasy world – a setting players deeply enjoy – and while it may feel familiar, the unique Carpathian Mountains setting will allow us to surprise them more than once. The next installments of his saga will bring new stories and new characters, but they will take place in different eras, locations, and cultures. Writing the narrative for projects of this scale is an incredibly satisfying undertaking. And while Coen and Brencis’ conflict will reach its conclusion in The Blood of Dawnwalker, attentive players will certainly come across breadcrumbs related to the overarching plot spanning the saga. I would love to share more, but for now, let’s wait for September 3 – the release of the game – adds Jakub Szamałek, Narrative Director at Rebel Wolves.

The latest trailers presented during Summer Game Fest 2026 are available on the official Dawnwalker YouTube channel.
