Evaluation

The Blood of Dawnwalker launched on September 3, 2026, developed by Rebel Wolves and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. This is Rebel Wolves' debut title — a narrative-focused open-world dark fantasy action RPG set in 14th-century Europe. The game released with one DLC item already available at launch: the "Eclipse Edition Content" pack (released September 2, 2026), which based on pre-release communications includes digital bonuses such as a world compendium, soundtrack, and an exclusive comic book — cosmetic/supplementary content bundled with the premium edition rather than a story expansion. The key forward-looking signal comes from a June 5, 2026 announcement at Summer Game Fest, where Rebel Wolves unveiled a CGI teaser describing "where the dark fantasy saga is heading," stating that "the next installments of the Dawnwalker franchise will span centuries, continents, and cultures across the globe." The game is explicitly described as "the first installment of a new dark fantasy action RPG franchise" and "the first chapter." This positions the title as the beginning of a planned multi-game series, though it does not confirm specific DLC content for this game. Because the game only launched today, there is no post-launch developer communication, no established update pattern, and no announced DLC beyond the already-shipped Eclipse Edition extras. The developer has not made any statements about post-launch content plans for this specific title (patches, expansions, story DLC), making it impossible to assess whether more content is coming for this game specifically.

About this game

14th-century Europe. Bloody conflicts sweep the lands, and the Black Death comes for the survivors. It's a moment of weakness - and that's all they needed. Vampires seize their opportunity to walk out of the shadows and claim what they've been denied for centuries: freedom, and the power that comes with it. Other creatures of the night follow their lead. Legends turn into reality, and history as we know it will never be the same.

You play as Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night. Fight for your humanity or embrace the cursed powers to save your family. Whatever your choice, the question stands: is your soul worth the lives of those you love?

Experience and shape the plot the way you want. Embark on the quest to save your family, or swear revenge on your sire and destroy everyone standing in your way. Discover ancient secrets lurking in the valley. Rush in head first or risk taking time to prepare. Go alone or search for friends and forge unlikely alliances.

Experience two different gameplay loops, offering distinct abilities to choose from, mysteries to uncover, and varying ways to achieve your goals. Experiment with different approaches and discover how the world reacts to your actions.

Every action - and inaction - shapes the world around you. Your family’s days are numbered, and every time you take on a quest, time moves forward, compelling you closer to the end. Choose carefully whom to help and whom to leave behind. You will not have time for everyone. The world waits for no one. And neither does the villain.

Defy gravity, become a brutal force of nature, and use your supernatural skills as a vampire. Or raise your sword, and employ powerful magic to take on opponents as a human. Experiment and adapt as your form changes during the day and night; each has its strengths and weaknesses.

Venture through the hand-crafted open world and discover all it has to offer. Roam through the lush forests, the vast plains, the treacherous swamps, the steep mountaintops, and the medieval settlements. Explore forgotten ruins, find remnants of an ancient civilization, and uncover truths that should probably remain hidden.

Experience the beginning of a brand-new saga built with love for the role-playing genre. Immerse yourself in a visually stunning world powered by the next-gen Unreal Engine 5.
