Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by former CD Projekt RED developers, recently hosted a stream to unveil their debut project, *The Blood of Dawnwalker*. During the event, they showcased a captivating four-minute cinematic trailer, which also serves as the opening sequence to the game’s storyline. This dark fantasy action RPG immerses players in a mid-14th-century alternate Europe, setting the stage for an intense narrative.

The story follows a young protagonist named Coen, who acquires supernatural powers and is tasked with rescuing his loved ones from the clutches of vampires. Coen is given a tight deadline of 30 days and nights to complete his mission, adding a layer of urgency and strategic time management to the gameplay. Time progresses only during specific moments, requiring players to carefully manage their actions within the constraints of the game's timeline.

Throughout his journey, Coen faces critical moral choices—whether to hold onto his humanity or embrace his dark vampiric nature. These decisions not only shape the storyline but also influence gameplay mechanics. A key feature is the Blood Hunger mechanic; if Coen goes too long without feeding, he risks losing control, which could result in the accidental death of significant characters and unforeseen consequences.

Players will enjoy the freedom to explore richly detailed environments, where the time of day plays a crucial role in gameplay. Rebel Wolves describes the game’s world as a "narrative sandbox," offering extensive opportunities for player-driven actions and interactions.

*The Blood of Dawnwalker* has been in development for two years and is being crafted using Unreal Engine 5. The game is set to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, although an official release date has yet to be announced.
