As of now, there is no official confirmation or credible report about a new project titled The Blood of Dawnwalker being debuted by a former Witcher 3 director. CD Projekt Red's lead developer and director of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Hans Vogel, has not publicly announced any new game under that name. Additionally, Andrzej Blach, who served as a key game designer on The Witcher 3, has not been linked to a project by that title either. It's possible you may be referring to a fan-made concept, a rumor, or a fictional or satirical piece circulating online—such as a mock trailer or alternate universe fan project. The title The Blood of Dawnwalker sounds like it could be inspired by The Witcher lore, potentially referencing the mythic "Dawn Walker" figure from Slavic mythology, which has inspired elements in the series. If a trailer or footage has surfaced, it may be a hoax, a fan creation, or a teaser from an unconfirmed indie developer. Always verify such content through official sources like CD Projekt Red’s website, their social media, or reputable gaming news outlets like IGN, GameSpot, or Polygon. Stay tuned for official announcements from CD Projekt Red or known developers for any new projects in the Witcher universe—such as The Witcher 4, which has been rumored but not officially confirmed. Let me know if you’d like a breakdown of the lore behind "Dawn Walker" or updates on confirmed Witcher-related projects!

The Blood of Dawnwalker – Rebel Wolves’ highly anticipated dark fantasy action-RPG — has officially confirmed its 2026 release, marking a major milestone for the studio behind The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. The announcement, made during the June 2025 Xbox Games Showcase, delivered a chilling pre-beta gameplay reveal and set the stage for one of the year’s most talked-about reveals.

🔥 A Dual Existence: Human by Day, Vampire by Night

Players step into the boots of Coen, a young man transformed into a Dawnwalker — a rare and tormented being caught between two worlds. By day, he is a man struggling to hold onto his humanity. By night, he becomes a predator, wielding vampiric powers that come at a steep cost.

His mission: save his family from a fate sealed by his own bloodline, or unleash vengeance upon his sire, the ancient vampire who turned him. But time is running out — with only 30 days and nights to decide his path, and the weight of his bloodlust growing stronger with each passing twilight.

🌅 The Gameplay Reveal Event: June 21, 2025

On June 21, Rebel Wolves will host a 45-minute Gameplay Reveal Event titled "The Longest Day", a thematic nod to the summer solstice — when the boundary between day and night dissolves.

Key highlights include:

• ~15 minutes of new gameplay footage, showcasing combat, exploration, and narrative branching.
• In-depth developer commentary from Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, who reiterates the game’s emotional core and identity.
• Deep dives into:
  • Directional Combat System: A dynamic blend of melee, magic, and vampiric abilities that shift depending on time of day.
  • Day vs. Night Mechanics: Vital gameplay differences that affect enemy behavior, stealth, and story progression.
  • Exploration of Vale Sangora: A fractured world where ancient magic bleeds into reality, and every choice leaves a mark.

"When we first announced the game in January, we promised more gameplay details this summer. That moment is here."
— Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Studio Director

🩸 The Cost of Power

At its heart, The Blood of Dawnwalker is a moral and psychological journey. The game asks players:

Is it worth sacrificing your humanity to save those you love?

Each transformation into the Dawnwalker amplifies your abilities — but also your hunger. Dialogue choices, environmental interactions, and even your sleep cycle influence how much of Coen remains.

The game features true narrative branching, where your actions in one cycle permanently alter the world in the next. Loyalty, betrayal, and identity are not just themes — they are mechanics.

• 2026: The Blood of Dawnwalker arrives on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC (Windows).
