Rebel Wolves got in on the fun during the Xbox Games Showcase, revealing a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming dark fantasy action RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker. In addition, the trailer confirmed a 2026 release for the game, which is now available to wishlist on Steam, Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
Complementing the cinematic trailer released back in January, this new trailer offers the first glimpse of pre-beta gameplay footage.
Rebel Wolves still weren’t done with the reveals, as they also announced that they’ll be revealing even more details about The Blood of Dawnwalker during the summer solstice on June 21 – a moment when the Earth’s northern hemisphere experiences the longest day of the year, while the opposite hemisphere undergoes its longest night. The event will reveal approximately 15 minutes of new gameplay content, accompanied by an extended developer commentary.
The livestream will shed more light (no pun intended) on several key gameplay features already hinted at in the new trailer, including the directional combat system that blends swordfighting, spells, and vampiric powers. The developers will also demonstrate how players navigate Vale Sangora’s diverse locations, further explore the game world, and highlight the gameplay differences between day and night, which will have a significant impact on the story and its course.
The first chapter of Rebel Wolves’ original dark fantasy saga, The Blood of Dawnwalker takes place in fourteenth-century Europe. Engulfed in chaos, bloody wars tear the continent apart, and the Black Death claims a deadly toll. This moment of weakness is seized by a clique of powerful vampires. Players take control of Coen – a young man who has become a Dawnwalker – a being no longer fully human, yet not entirely a vampire. You will have just 30 days and nights to save Coen’s family, or exact bloody revenge on his sire, regardless of the consequences or the cost of Coen’s thirst for blood. But the most important question for players remains: is it worth sacrificing your humanity for the ones you love?
