Ok, so here we go. Imagine me, coffee in hand, sitting at my cluttered desk. Papers everywhere, but under it all, a glimmer of excitement about this game I stumbled upon. Let’s dive in.

Seriously though, Rebel Wolves just threw over 20 minutes of gameplay footage at us from their new vampire-themed RPG, and honestly, I’m kind of here for it. They did this little reveal for “The Blood of Dawnwalker” and it’s the most we’ve seen so far. I mean, it’s kind of like hearing about some secret treasure and suddenly getting a map.
They first mentioned this game back in January 2025. Yeah, feels like forever, right? They hinted at this open-world RPG where you’re making all these morally ambiguous choices—honestly sounds a bit like The Witcher vibes, probably ’cause some folks from CD Projekt Red are involved. And we’re looking at a release in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. But who knows, right? Dates change.
Oh, and look here. There’s this image of some epic scene from the game. It’s haunting but kinda cool at the same time. Not gonna lie, the landscape just pulls you in like a good novel on a rainy day.
Anyway, they ramped up their marketing and just dropped this big gameplay reveal. June 21—mark that date ’cause they showed us over 21 minutes. We get to follow this guy, Coen, as he snoops around a crypt trying to unearth some mythical weapon.
The combat? Oh man, it’s intense. Coen’s swinging that sword like nobody’s business, as he faces off against bandits. They say each fight’s like a dance, where you’re watching every enemy move like you’re at a chess game. It’s got these special moves too, like one that burns foes over time. Pause the game in the middle of all this madness and pick your moves, kinda Dragon Age style.
Oh, but wait, there’s this twist on time. It’s like sand slipping through your fingers, not just a ticking clock. Everything in the game pushes time forward but just wandering? Nope, time stands still. Makes every choice heavy like deciding whether to make that late-night snack.
Then there’s this vampire thing—turning into a night creature. Makes Coen more noticeable, but he gains new ways to get around, although it sounds a bit terrifying. Health turns into a hunger meter, gotta feed, or you’ll lose control. Snack on NPCs, sip just a bit, or stick to animals. Each choice steers the story—and your humanity.
Anyway, if any of that made your heart race a bit, then maybe, just maybe, this game’s gonna be worth the wait. Who knows? All I know is, I’ve got my eye on it and can’t wait to see more.
