Despite going gold far ahead of its launch in early September, excitement is building for Rebel Wolves’ The Blood of Dawnwalker (if those two million-plus wishlists weren’t enough indication). As we wait for more gameplay, the development team took to Instagram for a Q&A where it answered several questions, which a Reddit user helpfully screen-capped.
These include the presence of other fantasy creatures and monsters. Long story short, you can expect “Uriashi, Kobolds, Psoglavs, Pixies, Murohni, Gargoyles, Tatzelwurm, and more!” “Uriashi” likely refers to Uriaș, the Romanian term for giants, while the Psoglav originates from Balkan folklore and is a demon with the head of a dog. Considering these and other folklore were inspirations, it will be fascinating to see how they fit into the world of Vale Sangora.
Interestingly, when asked whether Dawnwalkers are rare or if Coen is the first and only, the studio responded, “Great question, maybe you’ll learn more about this in the game.” Perhaps it’s linked to that tomb explored in the early going? Time will certainly tell.
The Blood of Dawnwalker launches on September 3rd for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Rebel Wolves recently confirmed that the physical version will ship with a disc containing the full game, but it’s recommended to download the day-one patch. Whether the latter is mandatory to play remains unknown. In the meantime, you can learn more about how the team tries to prevent fail states for players (short answer: It doesn’t).
