Exciting Gameplay Details Unveiled for The Blood of Dawnwalker

Sure! Here it goes:

—

Okay, so here’s the thing. Polish studio Rebel Wolves just dropped over 20 minutes of gameplay for this game they’re working on—The Blood of Dawnwalker. Yeah, I know, another vampire RPG, but what they showed off? It’s kinda wild. It’s the longest we’ve seen of it so far.

They first told us about The Blood of Dawnwalker back in Jan 2025, which feels like forever ago, right? I swear, time has lost all meaning these days. Anyway, back then it was just whispers of open-world monster hunting with choices that actually matter. The folks behind it? Ex-CD Projekt Red devs, so folks can’t stop comparing it to The Witcher. They’re aiming for a 2026 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Oh, and side note, they had this event on June 21. Was that yesterday? No idea, honestly. During that, they showed off more than 21 minutes of gameplay. It was pre-beta stuff, captured during Coen’s quest. He’s the protagonist, by the way. He’s hunting down some legendary weapon lurking beneath an old cathedral. Sounds cliché, but hey, we all love a good cathedral crypt, right?

Now, about the combat—this stuff’s intense, man. Coen’s out there in the countryside, battling it out with bandits. They’ve put a lot into their combat mechanics. Coen’s moves are designed so you’re like, a swordmaster, watching enemies, sizing them up, and then bam, striking when they’re weakest. He’s got special moves too, like Burning Blood and Artery Attack—you can guess what those do. Oh, and the game pauses when you pick abilities, kind of like Dragon Age. Love or hate it, there it is.

The real kicker? Time’s actually a thing in this game. Like, it’s not just counting down the seconds but more of a ‘how will you spend it?’ kind of deal. Each decision moves the story forward in different ways. I’m getting stressed just thinking about it.

Oh, and don’t forget: Coen’s a vampire come nighttime. His health before sundown is like a hunger gauge. No blood, no badassery. You get to decide how he feeds—drain humans dry for power-ups or find other ways to keep him under control. If he doesn’t feed… well, things get messy.

So yeah, that’s where we’re at with The Blood of Dawnwalker. It’s shaping up to be something, that’s for sure.
