The Blood of Dawnwalker will get a full-fledged sequel

Rebel Wolves studio has confirmed the development of a sequel to The Blood of Dawnwalker: its success allowed the team to continue experimenting.

For many years, the theme of vampires in video games remained problematic for the industry. Rebel Wolves studio head Konrad Tomaszkiewicz used the Golden Joystick Awards 2026 ceremony to state that The Blood of Dawnwalker managed to lift the curse from this genre.

The industry has repeatedly stumbled over such projects. High-profile failures like Redfall and the troubled, years-long development of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 scared away major publishers. According to Tomaszkiewicz, the game mechanics themselves helped turn the tide. The developers combined a hybrid combat system with a flexible narrative sandbox.

In an interview, the studio head shared that the team gained broad opportunities for experimentation. An open code architecture allows them to freely implement even the most radical and unusual ideas. Tomaszkiewicz also expressed satisfaction with how the entire game creation process unfolded.

The Blood of Dawnwalker was released on PC and current-generation consoles on September 2, 2026. Although Rebel Wolves did not win any awards at the recent ceremony, high marks from critics and players helped the project achieve commercial success. The development of a full-fledged sequel to the vampire RPG has been officially confirmed.
