The Blood of Dawnwalker is so far shaping up to be one of 2026's standout RPGs, at least if our four hours' worth of hands-on time is anything to go by.

I can imagine that trying to follow up a game as generational as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt would be an intimidating task. However, for developer Rebel Wolves, headed up by one of that game’s co-directors, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, it’s also something of an asset to be leveraged and then built upon.

This was my main takeaway after spending a generous four hours playing through The Blood of Dawnwalker’s dark yet gripping prologue. And though it’s true that it looks and plays a lot like Geralt’s swansong adventure, as expected, I was equally taken aback by just how much Dawnwalker wants to be its own thing - not least by giving its protagonist, Coen, a curious case of bloodthirst. Said concoction has so far sunk its fangs into me a lot more than I was expecting, with Rebel Wolves’ debut title already well positioned to deliver the vampire-themed action RPG I’ve been craving for so long.
