Even seemingly minor and inconsequential quests in The Blood of Dawnwalker might end up affecting the overall story, according to the studio.
Game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz says that writing a protagonist like Coen is quite enjoyable, rather than writing a superhero yet again.
The fantasy RPG's magic system will apparently be more subtle, focusing on occult elements, including rituals and summoning.
Coen also isn't a "grizzled veteran who's seen it all" but a "young guy who, at heart, is emotional," say writer Jakub Szamałek.
While The Blood of Dawnwalker's narrative will feature some sort of 30-day time limit, the developer has confirmed that this won't affect gameplay.
Developed by former Witcher 3 devs, the AAA open-world dark fantasy RPG will see players step into the boots of a vampire.
Indie team Rebel Wolves' debut title is described as a AAA dark fantasy action RPG, and is being published by Bandai Namco.
