The Blood of Dawnwalker review
A horror RPG with novel ideas of its own, even if it doesn’t always have the courage to follow them through.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is a vampire RPG with a grim atmosphere, released on September 3, 2026, for $70 / £60. Developed by Rebel Wolves and published by Bandai Namco, the game is set in 1300s Romania where vampires have replaced brutal feudalism with vampirism. The player, Coen, starts as a peasant in Laslea and later transforms into a Dawnwalker, a vampire by night and regular human by day.
The game's narrative revolves around rescuing Coen's family from the vampire lord Brencis, who has enslaved them and ruled the Vale Sangora region. The gameplay features intense combat, vampire abilities, and strategic decision-making to save Coen's family within a 30-day deadline before Brencis' coronation.
