The Blood of Dawnwalker is an action role-playing game developed by Rebel Wolves and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is set in 14th-century medieval Southeast Europe. The dark fantasy game was released in 2026 for Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Konrad Tomaszkiewicz directed the game, after working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Quote:The Blood of Dawnwalker was a very engaging experience during the 18 hours it took me to reach the credits—though it would take much longer if you were to use all the available days and complete more missions. Its strong narrative component helps make the combat challenges feel less tedious.

Quote:Most Western RPGs have been overshadowed this year by an incredible run of JRPGs, both those already released and several more looming on the horizon in the coming months. Against that backdrop, The Blood of Dawnwalker might genuinely be one of the best games 2026 has to offer. It has it all and then some, constantly surprising with consummate professionalism and polish.

Any takers?

I'm a big Witcher fan so will definitely pick this up at some point but not right away.

I'll play Witcher 3 remastered and the new DLC first before looking at price for this game.
