The group of CDPR alums at AA studio Insurgent Wolves aren’t messing round with regards to fight of their upcoming open-world vampire RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker.
Though Insurgent Wolves first unveiled Blood of Dawnwalker at the start of the 12 monthsit wasn’t till final week’s Summer season Recreation Fest 2025 that we bought a correct take a look at its gameplay and fightand it did not disappoint. Within the new trailer, we see our human/vampire hybrid protagonist Coen stealth-drop into dagger assassinations, sink his enamel right into a neck, and present his experience with swords in bloody, decapitating style.
The SGF trailer is not fairly a gameplay showcase — that is approaching June 21 — however there may be sufficient gameplay to considerably validate my lofty anticipation for this recreation. And I am additional validated by this little element revealed in an Xbox Wire publish From artistic director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz.
“Coen educated for years along with his father, a grizzled warfare veteran, so through the day he wields a sword. We studied medieval fighting kinds and actually have a few educated swordsmen on the staff,” mentioned Tomaszkiewicz. “The result’s fight that feels genuine and grounded, but approachable and enjoyable.”
Unsurprisingly, I am reminded of The Witcher 3 after I see Blood of Dawnwalker’s sword preventing, however I am wanting to see extra of the sport’s vampire-based motion. At evening, Coen turns right into a bloodthirsty vamp, and I am curious in regards to the totally different weapons and skills that unlocks and the way it performs out in-game.
Regardless, for sure I will be maintaining a tally of this one by its launch in 2026.
