The Blood of Dawnwalker, former Witcher 3 devs' vampire RPG, shows off a guy being blood explosioned by a flying old lady

While offering a archetypal look astatine what it's similar to play

Blood. Blood. Bloooooooooddddddd. Sorry, I've conscionable watched Rebel Wolves amusement disconnected the archetypal look we've gotten astatine idiosyncratic playing vampire RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker, and I deliberation it's rubbed disconnected connected maine a bit.

To beryllium fair, you can't blasted the radical of ex-Witcher 3 devs for having enactment unneurotic a crippled that looks to usage the B connection much often than idiosyncratic who's conscionable gotten a nasty insubstantial chopped portion handling immoderate packets of the reddish worldly astatine a humor bank.

During a livestream this play conscionable gone - June 21 to beryllium nonstop - the devs delivered astir 21 minutes of plan manager Daniel Sadowski demoing a "work-in-progress" pre-beta physique of The Blood of Dawnwalker. He spent astir of that clip showing disconnected a mid-game quest successful the game's biggest city, Svartrau, which boasts 4 boroughs. Also, successful existent medieval European fashion, it's got a castle truthful large that adjacent William the Conqueror would accidental 'phwoar'.

Rescuing your household from that fortress, dubbed Griefberg and presently ruled by a almighty vampire called Brencis, is the cardinal to the game's main quest. You'll request to enlistee assistance oregon find ways to marque it easier to storm, portion a timer ticking down successful days adjacent to the objective, showing you however agelong you've got near to program earlier it's excessively late.

As for the quest Sadowski was showing disconnected here, the main constituent of accent was the game's calling paper - a day/night rhythm that changes gameplay, with Coen's half-human/half-vampire quality making missions play otherwise depending connected the clip of day. For example, if you've got to get into a cathedral to look for clues, you mightiness waltz successful and conscionable a clergyman during the day, portion astatine night, you'll person to usage your sneaky vampire extortion jumpy powers to interruption successful and find spooky radical up to nary good.

I'm funny to spot which I'll similar erstwhile I get my hands connected the game, but Sadowski was keen to emphasise that the prime and effect goes beyond conscionable having 2 options for each mission, with assorted paths depending connected what you bash and however precisely you opt to attack the scenarios the crippled lobs your way. One happening I americium beauteous definite of is that I'll beryllium beauteous atrocious astatine Dawnwalker's Kingdom Come Deliverance 2-ish sword combat astatine first, fixed fiddly directional attacking and blocking tends to truly exposure my unfortunate inability to property parry precisely connected cue.

The demo ended with Coen getting into a brag conflict with an aged vampire called Xanthe and her humor guards, and towards the extremity of it, helium conscionable goes pop. No, seriously, Xanthe has a accomplishment called boiling blood, and if you don't bushed her rapidly enough, Coen gets humor explosioned. As in, helium explodes into a large splatter of blood. Clean up connected aisle seven.

The Blood of Dawnwalker's inactive connected for a 2026 release, truthful you've got a spot of clip to mentally hole to look the Dracula mentation of being Thanos snapped.
