"Blood of Dawnwalker: New RPG Unveiled by CD Projekt RED Veterans"
Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by former developers from CD Projekt RED, recently hosted an engaging stream that fully unveiled their debut project, *The Blood of Dawnwalker*. During this event, the team showcased an enthralling four-minute cinematic trailer, which not only captivated viewers but also served as the opening sequence to the game's intriguing storyline.
Set in an alternate version of 14th-century Europe, *The Blood of Dawnwalker* plunges players into a dark fantasy action RPG where the protagonist, Coen, acquires supernatural abilities following the dramatic events of the game's introduction. Tasked with rescuing his loved ones from the clutches of vampires, Coen is given a tight deadline of 30 days and nights. The passage of time in the game is intricately designed to progress only during certain gameplay moments, compelling players to manage it with precision.
Throughout his perilous journey, Coen faces profound moral dilemmas: whether to cling to his humanity or surrender to his burgeoning vampiric instincts. This critical choice influences both the gameplay mechanics and the overarching narrative. A central gameplay element is the concept of Blood Hunger. Should Coen go too long without sating his thirst for blood, he risks losing control, which could lead to the accidental death of key characters and subsequent unforeseen consequences.
Players are granted the freedom to explore meticulously crafted environments, where the time of day plays a significant role in the unfolding of events. The developers have described the game's world as a "narrative sandbox," offering vast opportunities for player-driven actions and interactions.
Currently in development for two years, *The Blood of Dawnwalker* is being crafted using the powerful Unreal Engine 5. The game is slated for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, though an exact release date has yet to be announced. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated dark fantasy RPG.
