The developers at Rebel Wolves have officially scheduled a showcase for their highly anticipated action RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker. Set to broadcast next week on April 28, this livestream promises to pull back the curtain on critical details, most notably the long-awaited launch date.
Titled the “Road to Launch” event, the stream kicks off at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET. According to game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, viewers can expect a deep dive into the game’s expansive open-world mechanics. Beyond the gameplay showcase, the studio plans to premiere a fresh story trailer, provide a behind-the-scenes look at their narrative design process, and clarify the necessary system specifications for players to run the title.
First teased in 2022, The Blood of Dawnwalker transports players to a grim, 14th-century Europe ravaged by both the Black Death and an encroaching vampire threat. The story follows Coen, a warrior transformed into a “Dawnwalker”—a hybrid creature struggling to retain his humanity. Driven to rescue his family from a formidable vampire lord, Coen must master dark, supernatural abilities to survive the nightmarish landscape.
The game emphasizes meaningful player agency, allowing for complex social dynamics and uneasy alliances that shift the narrative trajectory. Developed by a team of industry veterans—many of whom played pivotal roles in the creation of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077—the project is shaping up to be a distinct take on the genre.
