Rebel Wolves has provided a new look at the future of The Blood of Dawnwalker, revealing that the upcoming vampire RPG is designed as the first entry in an ambitious, multi-era saga. Following a teaser at Summer Game Fest, Narrative Director Jakub Szamałek confirmed that the studio intends to take protagonist Coen through different corners of the world and across centuries, effectively moving away from the game's initial 14th-century setting.

A Shifting Timeline for Coen

The game’s primary setting, Vale Sangora, is described by Environment Artist Adam Payet as a blend of Slavic and Balkan influences situated near the Carpathian Mountains. While the team aimed for a strong, recognizable sense of geography, it was never intended to be the permanent home for the series. Szamałek explained that as the series progresses, players will see Coen change as he ages, gains experience, and uncovers the hidden truths of his world.

Quick Facts

The Future of the Saga

While the team is currently focused on final polish and bug fixes for the initial launch, the developers at Rebel Wolves already have a clear vision for the sequels. Game Director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz noted that while they are not ready to discuss specific details for follow-up titles, the overarching story arc is already mapped out. The Summer Game Fest teaser served as a hint of this long-term plan, showing a glimpse of a contemporary, modern-day version of Coen.

This approach to narrative progression—shifting both time and setting across sequels—invites inevitable comparisons to the early Assassin's Creed titles, which utilized a shared modern-day ancestor to anchor their historical settings. Rebel Wolves is choosing a path that fundamentally alters the environment and potentially the gameplay style of future installments, moving away from the medieval era that defines the series' debut.

Despite the risks involved in such a significant shift, the studio remains committed to the vision of a multi-era story. With the launch build now finalized, the team's focus remains on delivering the initial experience in Vale Sangora before they begin sharing more about the future of the series.
