From the shadows of 14th-century Europe, a new kind of hero emerges — one who belongs fully to neither the light nor the dark. Rebel Wolves and Bandai Namco Entertainment Korea have announced September 3, 2026 as the arrival date for The Blood of Dawnwalker, an open-world RPG that asks players to inhabit the tension between two natures across a plague-ridden, war-fractured land. It is a story as old as myth — the creature caught between worlds — rendered now in the language of interactive choice and consequence.
