The Blood of Dawnwalker Gets New Gameplay Video

Bandai Namco and Revel Wolves released a new gameplay video for open-world dark fantasy RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker. The half-hour video is narrated by writer Ariana Siarkiewicz and shows the second part of the quest shown in the previous video from June as protagonist Coen investigates around Svartrau Cathedral in search of a legendary sword. It showcases some of the game’s exploration, conversations, combat, and lore, as well as revealing some changes made as a result of community feedback.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is set in an alternative 14th century in the fictional region of Vale Sangora in the Carpathian Mountains, where a clique of powerful vampires has overthrown the feudal lords. Players control Coen, who has thirty days to save his family or get revenge on the sire who turned him into a Dawnwalker. The game is billed as having a focus on its narrative and sandbox elements with plenty of player freedom. Due to Coen’s nature as a Dawnwalker, players will have different skills, abilities, and outcomes available to them based on the time of day. The Blood of Dawnwalker is in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and is currently planned to release in 2026.
