Rebel Wolves, the developer behind the recently-launched The Blood of Dawnwalker, has revealed that it’s already started swelling its ranks for the next chapter in the series, which it labels the Dawnwalker saga.
Posting on LinkedIn, Jakub Szamalek, Narrative Director at Rebel Wolves, noted how the team is now looking forward to what comes next, following the The Blood of Dawnwalker’s critical acclaim and commercial success — it’s already sold one million copies in its opening weekend.
The Blood of Dawnwalker released to critical acclaim and sold over one million copies in the opening weekend. But! We’re not resting on our laurels – no, siree! We’re already thinking about comes next. And so! Drum roll please! I’m looking for a Lead Writer to help me and the narrative team craft the next chapter in the Dawnwalker saga.
Speaking with Eurogamer back in July, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, the game’s director, revealed that players will be able to transfer their save files from The Blood of Dawnwalker to future instalments in the series, with the team having planned multiple titles during production of its debut title.
Set during the 14th century in a fictional kingdom known as Vale Sangora, The Blood of Dawnwalker is set amidst bloody conflict and the sweeping plague of the Black Death, giving the vampire population the opportunity to emerge from the shadows and claim the freedom they have been craving for centuries. Players follow a Dawnwalker named Coen, who treads the line between the world of the day and the realm of night, who embarks on a quest to rescue his family — players have 30 days and nights to achieve their goal, but are free to explore the open world while not advancing the plot.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, and you can read our full verdict here.
