Players will be able to complete The Blood of Dawnwalker in a few hours

Although the dark open-world RPG is designed for approximately 50 hours, the game can be finished significantly faster. Lead Quest Designer Rafał Jankowski confirmed: players will be allowed to ignore almost the entire story and go straight to the final battle.

Most notably, after the prologue, the hero Koen can directly go to the castle of the main antagonist, the vampire Brencis. The main mechanic revolves around 30 days and nights during which one must grow stronger, gather allies, and weaken the enemy, but the developers do not force this.

Jankowski noted that such a confrontation is “physically possible” but will be extremely difficult. The authors do not recommend going this route on a first playthrough but are looking forward to speedrunners who will try to win without preparation.

Creative Director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz added: actions against the vampire regime affect the world — from bounty hunters to the complete isolation of the city. Weakening the regime, conversely, increases reputation among rebels.

The Blood of Dawnwalker focuses on freedom — the player decides whether to develop gradually or risk everything at the very beginning.
