[summaraize]
Rebel Wolves’ brand new role-playing game, The Blood of Dawnwalker, is still quite a ways out, as the studio confirmed today during the Xbox Games Showcase that they are now targeting a 2026 window.
Though this news doesn’t leave us empty-handed, as a new trailer has also been released showing plenty of new gameplay and story details.
The Blood of Dawnwalker Releases In 2026, But We’ll Have a Deeper Look at It Next Week
Although the newest trailer is only a short two minutes, it shows a ton of new gameplay, as well as some brand new details about our protagonist, Coen. Here’s a little bit more about the game for those curious as to what the game is about:
“The Blood of Dawnwalker is the first chapter of Rebel Wolves’ brand new role-playing saga — a single-player open-world dark fantasy action-RPG with a strong focus on story and narrative. Developed on Unreal Engine 5 for Xbox X|S and Xbox PC. 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. Use your skills and combine vampiric strength with human resolve as you take on a quest to save the ones you love. Face your foes – be they human, monster, or the ticking clock itself. But remember – the real evil may bask in the sun’s light, and the most loyal of allies could lurk under the cover of night.”
The game is being helmed by Rebel Wolves, which consists of ex-CD Projekt Red developers (The Witcher and Cyberpunk series). Lots to be excited for here, and the early glimpses of what we’ve seen so far all look fantastic.
Now, onto some more related news. When can we expect to see more of the game? Well, that wait won’t be very long at all. In fact, the studio is hosting a stream next week that will give us 15 minutes of new gameplay along with commentary that will break down plenty of the game’s mechanics. Perhaps they’ll show off some of those romance options they previously confirmed? Guess we’ll see soon!
