Story Trailer Revealed for Open-World Vampire RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker

During the Bandai Namco Summer Showcase 2025, a brand-new story trailer was unveiled for the upcoming action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker, currently in development on Unreal Engine 5 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. The trailer is packed with cinematic cutscenes, but also teases some intense action moments.

Set in 14th-century Europe, ravaged by war and plague, The Blood of Dawnwalker thrusts players into an era where ancient beings emerge from the shadows. Vampires and other creatures of the night begin to openly shape the course of history amid widespread human despair.

Players take on the role of Cohen, a young man who becomes a Daywalker — a vampire balancing on the edge between light and darkness. He must choose whether to cling to his remaining humanity or fully embrace his cursed nature in order to save his family.

The game features a branching narrative, allowing players to influence how events unfold. Gameplay is split between two forms — day and night — each offering unique abilities and different approaches to challenges. Time in the game world moves relentlessly forward, and every action (or inaction) has consequences.

Players will explore a richly detailed open world filled with diverse landscapes, settlements, and secrets. Built on Unreal Engine 5, The Blood of Dawnwalker is designed for fans of atmospheric role-playing games.
