The Blood of Dawnwalker: preorders now live with exclusive editions

Excitement around The Blood of Dawnwalker is building as preorders for the game have gone live. Developed by former staff from The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 , this new title gives players a chance to prepare for an intense experience in a dark fantasy world where vampires play a major role.

Game information

The Blood of Dawnwalker is set in a grim reimagining of 14th-century Europe. Players follow protagonist Coen on his dangerous mission to save his sister, Lunka. After being infected with the infamous Black Death, Coen must also take on the powerful vampire lord Brencis and his undead servants. With a strict 30-day deadline to rescue his sister, Coen has also been afflicted by a vampire curse that grants him unique powers.

Preorder options

There are two main edition options available for players:

• Day One Edition : Priced at $70, this edition includes a stylish steelbook case, the Sangoran Wayfarer's Armor set as a preorder bonus, and a 16-inch-wide replica of the world map. It is set to release on September 3.

• Collector's Edition : For the dedicated fans, the Collector's Edition is available for $200. Alongside the Day One Edition content, it includes a 60-page hardcover compendium, a PureArts Coen figure, extra digital content such as a world compendium, the game soundtrack, and a tie-in comic. This edition also launches on September 3.

Gameplay and mechanics

Developer Rebel Wolves has introduced a unique time mechanic. Players will find that taking on missions advances the clock, but the game is designed so that exploration is not punished. This helps create a strong sense of tension; as players grow stronger, the approaching event draws ever closer.

With the option to unlock the Sangoran Wayfarer's Armor set immediately through a preorder, players get a head start at launch. That adds another layer to the appeal of The Blood of Dawnwalker , which is sure to be an exciting addition to the dark fantasy genre.
