The Blood of Dawnwalker is an open-world dark fantasy action RPG set in 14th-century Europe.
You play as Coen, human by day and vampire by night, fighting to save your family in a story shaped by your actions and the secrets you uncover.

Game Features

Make The Story Your Own

Experience and shape the plot the way you want. Embark on the quest to save your family, or swear revenge on your sire and destroy everyone standing in your way.
Discover ancient secrets lurking in the valley. Rush in head first or risk taking time to prepare. Go alone or search for friends and forge unlikely alliances.

Day And Night

Experience two different gameplay loops, offering distinct abilities to choose from, mysteries to uncover, and varying ways to achieve your goals.
Experiment with different approaches and discover how the world reacts to your actions.

Every Action Matters

Every action - and inaction - shapes the world around you.
Your family's days are numbered, and every time you take on a quest, time moves forward, compelling you closer to the end. Choose carefully whom to help and whom to leave behind. You will not have time for everyone. The world waits for no one. And neither does the villain.

Sword, Claws, And Rage

Defy gravity, become a brutal force of nature, and use your supernatural skills as a vampire. Or raise your sword, and employ powerful magic to take on opponents as a human.
Experiment and adapt as your form changes during the day and night; each has its strengths and weaknesses.

Open World Brimming With Adventure

Venture through the hand-crafted open world and discover all it has to offer.
Roam through the lush forests, the vast plains, the treacherous swamps, the steep mountaintops, and the medieval settlements. Explore forgotten ruins, find remnants of an ancient civilization, and uncover truths that should probably remain hidden.

Im a sucker for vampires

The Witcher 3 : Garry's mod

 

[DanielG165]

What was the last game where you played as a vampire? I can't remember, but this looks interesting, in any case! I love me some vampires.

[Luipadre]

This was a terrible trailer imo

 

[Labadal]

From visual design, to combat, to music, it does its best to be The Witcher, without being The Witcher.

 

[HYDE]

Looks janky as shit

 

[NickFire]

Looks pretty good. Not expecting a major game from this. A single player vampire slaughter game is interesting with decent combat

 

[coachmcguirk91]

This was a terrible trailer imo

Yeah, it's always concerning when they only show fractions of a second of gameplay at a time. And the gameplay didn't look great even doing that

 

[DanielG165]

Thank you! I'd forgotten about this one.

Not Legacy of Kain and that's the issue here.

 

[Kotaro]

PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gamers can play this, while Nintendo fans play From Soft's Duskbloods, funny how things work out in the end

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Nahhh I definitely expected better quality it looked choppy I need to see a bigger gameplay demo

 

[Astray]

Not Legacy of Kain and that's the issue here.

Ngl I kinda dig the basic premise and don't want it to wither.

If Crystal Dynamics doesn't wanna do something with it then someone else should.

 

[Xtib81]

Looks rough tbh.

 

[Bartski]

This is why you don't show games before you're ready

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Looks much worse than i thought it would. If it stays as is, i am seeing like a forgettable 73 meta score. Combat system looked so bad. Fix it or it'll flop.

 

[viveks86]

I think this is proving that a director moving over does not automatically mean the output quality would too. Hype deflated

 

[elbourreau]

Ouch... Real gamepaly kinda looks... Meh...

 

[SamuraiEdge]

GOAT.

Looking forward to this one. Wished it was further along so I would be happy if they hold on showing more until it's further along.

 

[IllegalLemon]

Bloodrayne and it was absolutely great!!! This is right up my alley, Rayne was released a really long time ago.

 

[Flabagast]

Is this the project from the former Witcher 3 director ?

 

[Punished Miku]

Cool premise but Witcher had issues. Its on my watch list for sure. I love me some vampires.

 

[Lootlord]

Looks a bit undercooked so far.

 

[KyoZz]

Is this the project from the former Witcher 3 director ?

Yes it's this one. Looks quite interesting imo.

 

[dispensergoinup]

Hmm...yea this looks rough, hope they clean it up and put some weight into the combat.

Looks floaty and the visuals look,..flat? Not sure how to describe it.

Needs more time in the oven for polish for sure.

 

[StueyDuck]

This is the ex arkane guys right? or is it CDPR guys?

or am i getting mixed up

 

[Schmendrick]

Low(er) budget Witcher with Vampires from former Witcher developers.
I´m willing to give it a chance.

 

[PeteBull]

This is the ex arkane guys right? or is it CDPR guys?

or am i getting mixed up

ex-cdpr

 

[StueyDuck]

ex-cdpr

isn't the Arkane one also wolves related as well? or did i dream that.

either way i knew it was ex devs of some AAA studio.

 

[PeteBull]

Maybe some ex-arkane got scouted too, no idea, i know dev studio is polish/in poland and founded by polish ex-cdpr ppl, core team is polish too, not saying only poles are there ofc.

 

[Labadal]

That's WolfEye Studios.

EDIT: Nvm

the above poster nails it.

 

[Yoboman]

Is this the game that is limited to 30 hours or something?

 

[Nocty]

hahahahaha oh fucking boy...

Now we know why they only revealed a bunch of CGI stuff and nothing else.

I hope they are going to give it plenty more time to cook yet, looks pretty 6/10 in current form.

 

[Timberwolf25]

I'm excited for this, but some good dev and not exclusive needs to do an Underworld game. And they better do sexy Seline justice if they do it.

 

[Mozzarella]

Gameplay reveal
Where's the gameplay bro

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

The story and worldbuilding will most likely be good, but its anmations and combat are awful, almost as bad as TW3's

Graphics are nice, though.

 

[Soodanim]

I'd be willing to give this a go. Will keep an eye out for this going forward.

In particular I want to know how close to the listed game features the final release gets.

 

[Life Diff]

This looked mid as fuck - all hype deflated. Also not a good look to show your game chugging in bland environments.

 

[Danny22]

Hope it's 80 dollars

 

[DarthPutin]

Not enough info. I don't really care as much about action aspect, I'm curious about quests and towns, etc. At least it's not 1st person for once!

 

[Labadal]

On June 21, they will show 15 minutes of gameplay.

 

[Fbh]

Awful trailer.
Most of the "gameplay reveal" is cutscenes with a few half second clips of janky looking gameplay thrown in there. Half the stuff seems to be running at low frame rates too.

They still have plenty of time to polish the game though (and I guess they can delay it to 2027 if they got the funding).

But I don't know why they are showing it in this state.

 

[Bitstream]

Count this as the second Daywalker vampire game that xbox is publishing that I'm looking forward to

 

[Seyken]

This has a lot of potential, hopefully they get the time they need to cook properly.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Like I said after the initial reveal:

The Witcher: Vampire Edition. Looks cool, will wait for gameplay, optimistic about it overall

Looking good, obviously needs polish but could be real special.

 

[DavidGzz]

Since Legacy of Kain failed me way back when, this is a nice replacement. Can't wait!
