[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The Blood of Dawnwalker is the first chapter of Rebel Wolves’ brand new role-playing saga — a single-player open-world dark fantasy action-RPG with a strong focus on story and narrative. Developed on Unreal Engine 5 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox X|S.

You play as Coen, a young man turned into a #Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night. Use your skills and combine vampiric strength with human resolve as you take on a quest to save the ones you love. Face your foes – be they human, monster, or the ticking clock itself. But remember – the real evil may bask in the sun's light, and the most loyal of allies could lurk under the cover of night.

Dawnwalker is made by ex-CDPR guys.

Rebel Wolves, that studio led by ex-Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 devs, is fittingly set to properly reveal its new RPG under a "full wolf moon" today - watch it here

Yeah. The guy who started the company got ousted from CD Projekt Red for "bullying". Now he has become a rival.

Looks generic

Piotr Musiał is on board. Witcher 3: Blood and Wine music composer.

 

[R3TRO]

Sounds like a knockoff Blade.

 

[Firestartah]

This and Crimson Desert is all the fantasy/medieval RPGs I need. They can keep fat-cheeks Ciri.

 

[ungalo]

We didn't see much but why not, i think it looks better than for example...Exodus, the supposed successor of Mass Effect.

 

[Lux R7]

i kinda like the mood, we'll see about the gameplay

 

[lh032]

theme looks great, gameplay neeed to show more

 

[Fbh]

Not particularly exciting, but I guess if the gameplay and writing are solid I'm in.
Have any of these "ex dev from famous studio opens up new studio to make a game that's very similar to the stuff that made them famous" worked out?
Exodus looks pretty meh, the Casey Hudson studio closed down, Stormgate seems to be shaping up to be a flop, etc.

I guess Bloodstained was pretty good outside the ugly visuals.

 

[Madflavor]

Looks promising. Gotta wait til Summer for a better look at it though.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Heavy TW3 vibes. Looks promising.

Dying Light is leaps and bounds better than Dead Island.

Edit: doesn't count, same developer.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

That’s a Switch 2 game!

 

[simpatico]

Oh yeah! TBH I'm glad these lads are working with new source material.

 

[Tommi84]

Most likely DAY ONE! Looks great

 

[Lokaum D+]

Looks good, but since no gameplay no tumbs up

 

[ThatPolishGuy]

Did you watch the vid till the end?

More gameplay to come probably around June.

 

[TheShocker]

Looks cool, but god knows when it will be out.

 

[David Ricardo]

Looks great! Suscribed to their youtube channel. Reminds me of Witcher 3 teaser from 2014.

 

[DeepEnigma]

This and Crimson Desert is all the fantasy/medieval RPGs I need. They can keep fat-cheeks Ciri.

You don’t like the menopausal Ciri bloat?

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

Cinematic trailer looks brutal, i like it, too early to judge about the gameplay as we see 3 seconds of it, but if it has even a fraction of The Witcher then it will be awesome.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

The Witcher: Vampire Edition. Looks cool, will wait for gameplay, optimistic about it overall

 

[DeepEnigma]

Digging the atmosphere and the lore from the live stream video. It’ll be high on my radar over the next couple of years.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Better combat than The Witcher 3 isn't a high bar to jump over.

 

[Calico345]

Meh. I believe that no game should be announced publicly until six months before its actual release, and at that time only gameplay footage should be shown. Giving a shit about anything announced with cinematics is pointless. It also says "first chapter" so that is concerning. Is this episodic? Is this a planned trilogy? Red flags for me personally if so. It's just impossible to be excited for anything announced given the state of the industry.

 

[Exentryk]

Definitely looks interesting with its Witcher Toussaint vibes. Need to see more of the combat and gameplay though.

 

[Mortisfacio]

I'm eager to see more, but they really leaned heavy into the Witcher vibes with this cinematic. Even the music sounds like something straight out of it.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Yeah, i cant form an opinion in a 3 seconds gameplay clip

 

[Kotaro]

I hope this come out the same time as The Witcher 4, there would be drama

 

[xanaum]

Looks like it’s time for The Witcher 3 director to lift that pile of Game of the Year trophies all over again, just like 10 years ago. I’m 200% hyped!

The real "The Witcher 4" is here

 

[CosmicComet]

Interested.

Had little interest in Witcher, even before fat face Ciri.

But I'm always down for vampire games.

 

[Complistic]

Could be great. Another one to keep my eye on.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Looks good to me. Can't wait to see more!

 

[Rickyiez]

Interesting but we might see Witcher 4 out before this ..

 

[Bitstream]

Liking what I'm seeing so far

 

[ComputerBlue]

Looks great, hope it delivers!

 

[Laptop1991]

I think it looks great as well, i want to play it, no question about it.

 

[Xavier2337]

Looks more interesting than the Witcher 4's trailer.
Damn, I still dislike the direction that Ciri acts too emotionally and not like a Witcher

 

[MagusMajul]

This is where the talent of CD Project Red went to after the woke mind virus destroyed their studio.

 

[Pejo]

Great CG trailer. Sets up the world, stakes, lore.

Now to wait and see the gameplay. But I'm definitely interested.

 

[DavidGzz]

Could be a dream game! This is what I wanted Legacy of Kain to be like but they went with some 3 fingered smurf.

 

[Rocinante618]

That name is too long and cliched. Atmosphere, VA, music and graphics are on point. Need more gameplay to cement my purchase but even right now, yeah highly likely I'm get this day fucking one. Way more hype than Witcher 4 tbh.

 

[{insert code here}]

 

[IAmRei]

I'm sold at this time, much better than w4 trailer imo. And the main character face is cooler as well <3

These games are announced so early for staffing. They need to hire people with expertise in this genre for the next 4 years. This is a "come apply" trailer.

 

[Gubaldo]

premise is interesting. Need to see more

 

[gow3isben]

This and Exodus are the most hyped games for me.

Set White Male protagonist though...do mine eyes deceive me? In 2025?????
