The Blood of Dawnwalker is shaping up to be this year's most ambitious RPG. Helmed by The Witcher 3 game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, the debut game from developer Rebel Wolves will see players dropped into south-east Europe during the 14th century – where time is not on their side.
As the remote Vale Sangora reels from the Black Plague, ancient vampire Brencis muscles in on the region, enforcing blood tithes in exchange for protection from the sickness. When village-boy protagonist Coen is forcibly turned into a vampire by Brencis, the process goes wrong and Coen is caught between two states – fang-toothed undead by night, (mostly) human by day. As Coen, we'll have just 30 in-game days and nights to save his family from Brencis; set loose in an open-world where our actions move time forward and cause rippling consequences.
