Confirmed information

Game overview

The Blood of Dawnwalker is the debut game from Rebel Wolves, a studio co-founded by former Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz and Cyberpunk 2077 quest design director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz. Set in 14th-century Europe during the Black Death, it follows Coen, a young man turned into a half-vampire "Dawnwalker" who must save his family from the vampire lord Brencis within a strict 30 in-game day-and-night window. Time only advances when the player chooses to advance it, giving the story a resource-management rhythm rather than a hard countdown.

Guide coverage

Day vs. Night: Two Playstyles

By day Coen fights as a human swordsman with witchcraft support and no natural health regeneration; by night he gains vampiric powers like Shadow Step, but must manage a bloodthirst meter that can trigger forced, story-altering attacks on NPCs if it runs too low.

The Infamy System & Time Budget

How the Infamy meter tracks Brencis's attention and unlocks assassination windows against his generals, and how the game's hourglass-tracked activities (quests, leveling, some side content) spend your limited 30-day timeline.
