Announced at the start of this year, the project commonly known as 'Dawnwalker' will be revealed via livestream on the 13th January.
This is the dark fantasy RPG from Rebel Wolves — the Polish studio that was set up by former The Witcher developers. It's being published by Bandai Namco, and it runs on Unreal Engine 5.
The publisher's official press release calls the game a "sandbox action-RPG", with "a strong focus on story and narrative". What else did you expect?
The event itself is going to be around 45 minutes long, providing information on the main setting of Vale Sangora, along with what sounds like a deep dive into the project's origins and eventual goals. A "tiny glimpse into gameplay" is also promised.
And just to be clear, the official name is The Blood of Dawnwalker — and it's set to be the "first chapter" in a "brand new role-playing saga". Ambitious...

Looks like it could have potential
An announcement of an announcement, thrilling stuff /s
I wish devs stopped showing games too early because it kills all the hype if you have to wait 2+ years for the acutal release of said game..... (looking at you Wonder Woman game)
Please don't be a Souls-like 🙏
@UltimateOtaku91 Or a Diablo-like 😉
@UltimateOtaku91 It will be a werewolf-like.
@Oram77 Stuff like this ends up being more of a 'we're hiring' event. I'll be happy to forget it exists until closer to release when proper trailers drop... unless it goes the way of a lot of well meaning start-ups that bite off more than they can chew.
More interested in this than TW4. The Witcher had its run and shouldn't be watered down with excessive sequels.
@Oram77 I feel you despite how immeasurably happy I am that it exists at all I must admit my heart sank a little at the end of that Onimusha trailer when it said 2026 😅
45min and only a tiny glimpse of gameplay? hmmmmmm
@UltimateOtaku91 i mean its from former members of the witcher team so i would think its more like witcher then a souls game.
@Oram77 its funny because sony is doing this now , then people reverse complain and complain that sony isn't showing off the games they are working on , even though they don't want to show them off too early. so either they do a wolverine and show it off too early or another example they showed off the new ghosts game and its coming out next year.
It sounds cool, but like with The Witcher series it needs to have improved combat.
TW3 had everything I wanted in a game like that but the combat was so jank I couldn't force myself to finish it, and that was on the supposedly improved PE5 version.
Oh? Are we going to have 2 witcher games now? Color me intrigued.
I've never been very into werewolves, but vampires are always good for a spin
It sounds like a recipe for another fun game with great visuals, deep story content, and a solid batch of action combat mechanics.
How Witcher like will it be?
I'm fine with more games in that vain.
Count me excited for January. I'll be looking for it!
