The trailer introduces players to Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker a hybrid creature who remains human by day and becomes a vampire by night. As Coen learns to master his new abilities, players will navigate a richly detailed world of myth and war-torn Europe during the 14th century, where chaos from the Black Death and continental war set the stage for a supernatural uprising.
But that’s not all Rebel Wolves has coming up in the near future.

The 45-minute livestream will showcase key mechanics teased in the trailer, including a directional combat system that merges swordplay, magic, and vampiric abilities. Developers will also expand on Vale Sangora, the game’s world, and how day-night cycles dynamically alter gameplay, story progression, and exploration.
A New Vampire Saga Begins
The Blood of Dawnwalker is the first entry in what Rebel Wolves calls a “dark fantasy saga.” Players take control of Coen with only 30 days and nights to either save his family or seek revenge on the vampire who cursed him. The moral choices are steep: Will you cling to your remaining humanity, or embrace the darkness for power and vengeance?
Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game promises a hauntingly beautiful and immersive experience when it launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026. Fans can tune in to the June 21 solstice stream for their next taste of this bloody tale.
