Dawnwalker: The Blood Needs to Live Up to its Promising Trailer

Bandai Namco Entertainment, renowned for its popular franchises such as Tekken, Ace Combat, and Tales, has recently announced an exciting new project: The Blood of Dawnwalker. This upcoming title marks a significant departure from the publisher’s typical offerings. Set in a haunting 14th-century dark fantasy world inhabited by vampires and other mythical creatures, The Blood of Dawnwalker is a AAA third-person Western RPG. Notably, the game is being developed by Rebel Wolves, a fresh independent studio founded by ex-CD Projekt Red developers who played pivotal roles in creating titles like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077.

Originally revealed almost a year ago, a closer look at The Blood of Dawnwalker has finally been shared with the gaming community. The reveal trailer, which premiered on January 13, primarily focused on the narrative elements of the game while showcasing minimal gameplay. Despite this limited glimpse, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans expressing their excitement in the comments section of Bandai Namco’s YouTube channel. Though the trailer paints a tantalizing picture of a grotesque and dark world, it raises the stakes for the gameplay to deliver on the high expectations set by its visually stunning preview.
