At Summer Game Fest 2026, Bandai Namco released a new trailer for The Blood of Dawnwalker ahead of its release on September 3, revealing new story details. The Blood of Dawnwalker will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Xbox on PC, Xbox Cloud, and Steam.
The trailer is available here:
In a press release, Game Director and Co-Founder of the studio Rebel Wolves (as well as Director on The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt) Konrad Tomaszkiewicz said:
“I have a feeling that today’s presentation may have surprised many of you who did not expect Coen’s saga to move into modern times. However, I would like to emphasize that each installment in the series will be a standalone game with its own story, without narrative cliffhangers, unresolved plot threads, or time travel ideas. Since forming Rebel Wolves, we have been very clear that we aim for The Blood of Dawnwalker to be a self-contained story, and now, as we approach the release of the first chapter, we wanted to shed a bit more light on our wider perspective and tease where the story ultimately leads.”
Jakub Szamałek, Narrative Director at Rebel Wolves, also commented:
“I love the potential that lies within Coen, as well as his powers and abilities as a Dawnwalker. His journey begins in a dark 14th-century fantasy world – a setting players deeply enjoy – and while it may feel familiar, the unique Carpathian Mountains setting will allow us to surprise them more than once. The next installments of his saga will bring new stories and new characters, but they will take place in different eras, locations, and cultures. Writing the narrative for projects of this scale is an incredibly satisfying undertaking. And while Coen and Brencis’ conflict will reach its conclusion in The Blood of Dawnwalker, attentive players will certainly come across breadcrumbs related to the overarching plot spanning the saga. I would love to share more, but for now, let’s wait for September 3 – the release of the game.”
Pre-orders for the standard edition ($69.99) and Eclipse edition ($79.99) are now available. Eclipse Edition contents include a Digital World Compendium, Digital Soundtrack, and Digital Comic Book. A Collector’s Edition will also be available, including the Eclipse Edition contents, a SteelBook, world map, a Coen figurine, and a physical World Compendium.
