Rebel Wolves is already looking toward the future of "The Blood of Dawnwalker" as the game's director has confirmed that work on a follow-up entry is underway just days after the vampire RPG hit store shelves.
Narrative director Jakub Szamalek shared the update through a LinkedIn post, giving fans a clearer picture of where the developer stands on continuing the story it just introduced.
'The Blood of Dawnwalker' Sequel Is Confirmed
Szamalek addressed the critical acclaim "The Blood of Dawnwalker" has received since launching, making clear that Rebel Wolves is not resting on that early success. He described the studio as already "thinking about what comes next," a statement that pointed toward continued development beyond the current release.
The comment followed a strong start for the game, which reportedly sold over a million copies within just two days of launch, a notable achievement for a new franchise coming from a brand-new studio.
That sales performance is even more significant given the crowded release window "The Blood of Dawnwalker" launched into. "Onimusha: Way of the Sword" released the very next day and also crossed a million copies sold within its first day, and several other high-profile titles including "Marvel's Wolverine," "Silent Hill: Townfall," "Control Resonant," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4," and "Grand Theft Auto 6" are all releasing within a similarly packed stretch.
Rebel Wolves Narrative Director Gathers Team
Beyond the general confirmation, Szamalek's post carried a specific and immediate ask. He is actively assembling a team to begin shaping the next chapter of the story, signaling that Rebel Wolves has moved past the conceptual stage and into active planning for what comes after the current game.
According to Insider Gaming, while Szamalek did not specify whether the next project would be a direct sequel or a spin-off within the same universe, his wording made clear that development plans are already taking shape rather than remaining a distant possibility.
'The Blood of Dawnwalker' Looks for Lead Writer
Szamalek was direct in his post, stating plainly that he is "looking for a Lead Writer to help me and the narrative team craft the next chapter in the Dawnwalker saga." That specific detail confirms the studio is actively recruiting for the next installment rather than simply discussing early ideas internally.
The phrase "Dawnwalker saga" echoes language Szamalek has used before when describing the franchise's long-term plans. It reinforces that Rebel Wolves envisions "The Blood of Dawnwalker" as the opening chapter of a much larger story rather than a standalone project.
What Is the Progress of the 'Dawnwalker' Sequel?
This is not the first time Rebel Wolves has hinted at future entries in the franchise. Szamalek previously confirmed that Coen, the game's vampire protagonist, would return in future installments, describing a saga that would carry the character through different eras, locations, and cultures in the games that follow.
He noted that while the central conflict between Coen and Brencis concludes within "The Blood of Dawnwalker," attentive players would notice narrative threads connecting to the broader story still being built.
Combined with the game's strong sales and Szamalek's latest recruitment post, all signs point to Rebel Wolves treating its debut release as the foundation for a much larger planned universe rather than a one-off project.
