The Blood of Dawnwalker

The Blood of Dawnwalker
Set against the backdrop of a war-torn 14th century Europe that’s plagued by supernatural horrors, The Blood of Dawnwalker lets players take on the role of a cursed warrior struggling between humanity and monstrosity. Exploration looks to be rather tense, with distinct gameplay loops characterizing your daytime and nighttime abilities. The combat emphasizes precision and survival rather than power fantasy, and combined with its grim atmosphere and narrative focus, The Blood of Dawnwalker looks poised to deliver an open world that feels oppressive in the best way possible.
