Back in 2015, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt redefined what players expected from immersive, choice-driven storytelling in action RPGs. Now, the director behind that masterpiece has reunited with his team at the newly formed studio, Rebel Wolves, to craft a bold new experience: The Blood of Dawnwalker. We are thrilled to feature this highly anticipated title on the cover of the latest Game Informer issue, which is available to explore digitally right now.
To provide an unparalleled look at The Blood of Dawnwalker, we traveled to Rebel Wolves’ headquarters in Warsaw, Poland. We spent an intensive day embedded with the development team, uncovering their vision for a game poised to redefine the RPG genre. Beyond hours of candid interviews, we experienced two exclusive hands-off gameplay demos—one of which has never been shown publicly. Our expansive 16-page cover story dives deep into how the team is channeling decades of industry-defining expertise into this gripping, original vampire epic. We explore the game’s intricate narrative structure, which hinges heavily on player agency, as well as the expansive world map, tactical combat, innovative time-manipulation mechanics, and the evolving complexities of character relationships.
Print subscribers are in for a special treat: this issue arrives with an exclusive poster featuring the game’s striking key art, starring the protagonist, Coen. While that remains an exclusive perk for our print community, digital subscribers can jump into the full magazine immediately.
Beyond our massive spotlight on The Blood of Dawnwalker, issue 378 is packed with essential reading. We present deep-dive features on Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, Grave Seasons, End of Abyss, and the Gothic 1 Remake. We also sit down with the visionaries behind Stardew Valley, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse for a look back at their development journeys. Additionally, Hayes Madsen investigates the modern resurgence of turn-based RPGs, speaking with the masters behind Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Persona, and Sea of Stars. All this, plus a massive previews section covering Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, Metro 2039, Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold, Neverway, and many more.
