Rebel Wolves surprised fans at Summer Game Fest when it aired a teaser trailer showing The Blood of Dawnwalker protagonist Coen in an entirely different setting. The game itself is set in 14th-century Eastern Europe, but this trailer showed a modern-day courier delivering him a sack of blood. The significance was obvious: the Polish studio aims to create a whole saga centered on Coen. In recent interviews, Rebel Wolves have opened up on their roadmap. Speaking to Eurogamer, Game Director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz revealed that part of the reason is to keep the creative juices flowing by jumping across ages and […]

Rebel Wolves has announced an update lowering the PC system requirements for its debut RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker. The adjustments scale down both the minimum and recommended hardware specifications needed to run the upcoming game at 1080p resolution.

The updated minimum configuration shared by the developer on X now requires an Intel i5-11400F or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU, down from the original requirement of an Intel i7-8700K or Ryzen 7 3700X. Graphics hardware requirements dropped from an Nvidia RTX 3050 or GTX 1070 down to a GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 580.

Targeting 60FPS at 1080p on the recommended tier now requires an Intel i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU, changing from the previously stated Intel i5-13600 or Ryzen 9 7900X. Recommended graphics cards have been reduced to an RTX 4060 or a Radeon RX 7600 XT, replacing the previous requirement of an RTX 5060 or an RX 6800 XT. Rebel Wolves noted that updated requirements for alternative configurations will be shared later.

According to the developer, we can expect more detailed system requirements and presets at a later date, after the final optimisation processes are complete.

KitGuru says: It seems the optimisation efforts were worth it, given the updated system specs. Now many more fans will be able to pick up the new game without feat of it not running. 

September 2026 was already looking stacked before the State of Play, but yesterday it became veritably tragic for players' wallets. There are at least five (possibly more, depending on your definition of the category) major triple-A releases squeezing in this month, in what's clearly a desperate effort to stay out of the veritable vortex that Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 will spin on the industry when it launches on November 19. They're also in fairly similar genres, practically forcing players to choose which to purchase, with inevitable repercussions for their sales. The only silver lining is that Phantom Blade Zero […]

With the delay of the Fable reboot to February 2027, The Blood of Dawnwalker is undoubtedly the most anticipated Western-made roleplaying game due in 2026. Despite being a new intellectual property, the debut game from Polish developer Rebel Wolves benefits from a core development team that worked in key roles on CD Projekt RED's masterpiece, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Indeed, the similarities with the award-winning open world RPG are many, but Rebel Wolves also introduced many features and twists that make it arguably even more interesting, at least on paper. Release Date, Platforms, Pricing The foundation of Rebel Wolves was announced […]

During the Road to Launch event, developer Rebel Wolves unveiled detailed PC specifications for their debut game, the highly anticipated fantasy open world action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker. The specs look fairly demanding on paper: the GeForce RTX 5090, the most powerful graphics card on the market, is required to play the game at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second while using the Ultra preset. However, the developers clarified that the following target resolution, frame rate, and presets were calculated without taking into account upscaler and frame generation, which will be supported (including NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR).

For years, a group of former Witcher 3 developers have been working on a new game, titled The Blood of Dawnwalker. Now, this vampire-themed RPG is finally nearing launch, with a big showcase scheduled for later this month.

Next week, the team at Rebel Wolves will give us our first look at gameplay from The Blood of Dawnwalker. The showcase reveal will last around 45 minutes, indicating that we'll be getting a deep dive into the game, not just a surface-level trailer.

The reveal takes place on April 28th and we also expect to get a release date during this event. Pre-orders for the game may also go live shortly after the reveal event.

The Blood of Dawnwalker takes place in a fictional region called Vale Sangora during the chaos of the Black Death, a moment when vampires seize the opportunity to rise from the shadows.

KitGuru Says: The Blood of Dawnwalker is shaping up to be one of the most interesting games of the year.

Very early this year, The Blood of the Dawnwalker developer Rebel Wolves confirmed that their debut dark fantasy action RPG would release in 2026. Now, after a few months of silence, the CEO, Game Director, and Co-Founder Konrad Tomaszkiewicz has been interviewed on The Game Business Show, revealing that he is comfortable with the widespread comparisons to The Witcher games, especially after the successful focus tests. He also shared that the console versions are already shaping well, and he personally finished the whole game on a PlayStation 5. I'm really comfortable. I feel really confident about our game; we're already […]
