Rebel Wolves and Bandai Namco posted the official launch trailer for The Blood of Dawnwalker on August 26, a last look at Vale Sangora and at Brencis, a tyrannical vampire lord, before Coen’s first chapter starts September 3 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The upload is on the official Dawnwalker YouTube, and it runs one minute and 45 seconds in 4K.

Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, game director and co-founder, is counting down to the studio’s first launch and wants players in Vale Sangora, face to face with Brencis and his court. He also wants bodies at the Rebel Wolves booth in gamescom Hall 6.1 while the floor is still open.

Human by Day, Vampire by Night

Coen is a Dawnwalker, human by day and vampire by night, in 14th-century Vale Sangora in the Carpathians after war and plague left a door open. PlayStation’s US page puts the world on Unreal Engine 5. Decisions shape both the story and how the game plays, and sitting still counts the same as a finished quest. We already walked through day and night, the calendar, and combat in the Everything You Need to Know feature, so this page is the last look rather than a second walkthrough.

Hall 6.1, Then September 3

gamescom was still standing when this trailer landed, and after Cologne the date is September 3. Bandai already flags this as the first chapter of a longer Dawnwalker saga, with later games pointed at new eras and cultures, which is a problem for later, because September 3 is the date on the box.

Official social is @PlayStation, @BandaiNamcoUS, and @DawnwalkerGame. Watch it on the official Dawnwalker channel. The PlayStation US page is the September 3 listing.
