How to level up corruption in The Blood of Dawnwalker
Corruption dictates which vampirism skills you can use in The Blood of Dawnwalker. Here's how to level up corruption.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is an open-world role-playing game developed by Rebel Wolves, a studio staffed by several ex-Witcher 3 developers. The game follows the story of Coen, a peasant turned Dawnwalker, a human by day and vampire by night, who must save his family from the vampire lord Brencis within 30 days.
In the game, players can level up their corruption, which unlocks more vampire skills that can be used at night, according to Polygon. These skills include transforming into a wolf to traverse the map faster, gaining lifesteal, or increasing the amount of corruption obtained while drinking blood.
The game was released on September 3, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a review from TechRadar describing it as ambitious but not fully realised, with some elements lacking polish. Tom's Guide noted that the game has a compelling story and sharp writing, but is also flawed with a barren open world, clunky combat, and technical rough edges.
