Dawnwalker is a Witcher-inspired RPG from Rebel Wolves (Bandai Namco) set in a vampiric 14th-century Vale Sangora. You play Coen, a newly turned vampire navigating a blood tax and a deep, centuries-spanning lore. Its standout feature is a time-pass system: every quest, decision, and action advances time, shaping available paths and outcomes, with a day/night cycle that changes powers and interactions. Combat blends Witcher-style timing with a directional For Honor-like system, and a Court of vampires adds a sprawling political layer. The preview praises the ambition but notes questions about combat longevity and how narrative weight holds with branching choices.
