Rebel Wolves, the studio founded by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, former director of The Witcher 3, is set to release their dark fantasy action-RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker, in 2026. During the recent Xbox Games Showcase, pre-beta gameplay footage was revealed, illustrating the journey of Coen, a young man transformed into a Dawnwalker, a half-human, half-vampire entity. The game features a unique blend of sword-fighting, spells, and vampiric powers, with gameplay heavily influenced by the time of day. A special gameplay reveal event is scheduled for June 21, where more footage and gameplay features will be shared, including insights into the storyline that challenges players on the sacrifices of humanity for the ones they love.
