30 hours in and i haven’t even gone to the mass yet -Henry
Ah, so he ALSO thinks it’s “Blood of the Dawnwalker”, and not “The Blood of Dawnwalker.” Every time I read the title, I read it wrong.
Everyone just decided not to call this game by its actual name lol
Can’t wait to buy it physically
I just need anything that can give me a Witcher 3 vibe, immersion, music, characters, progression. So hyped
inaction having consequences is something i want to see in more RPGs. It makes the world feel alive and your actions important, especially when sometimes you have to choose between people you liked but not being able to help both. It also adds a lot of replayability
I bet that an “infinite time” mod is gonna be really popular with this game
I’m drawn to this game in a similar way that I was drawn to Tainted Grail. I’m excited to see what a small, scrappy, resourceful, and dedicated team can do with a title they’re 100% behind with the limitations that they have and a story they are fully committed to telling to the best of their ability. That’s worth more to me than the biggest budget triple A title in development. I hope the Dawnwalker team pulls it off!
The time/quest system actually sounds interesting and ripe for replayability, although the 'no missable content' types will probably hate it.
lol everyone previewing this is incorrectly calling it Blood of the Dawnwalker and not The Blood of Dawnwalker
Maybe it’s just the style doing heavy lifting here, but I think this looks pretty good graphically.
Witcher 3 is my favorite game of all time with Cyberpunk 2077 a close second. I am super excited for this and we don't need every game to take 10 years with a 400 million dollar budget.
The time management reminds me of how it works in persona where each activity requires time but this looks like you can do more than one activity per day and there looks like lots of replay options for this game
I'm almost certain the arm crossing animation at 7:06 is literally the same animation Geralt has during conversations in The Witcher 3.
i was sold before, but this triple cemented it. Actual good storytelling with consequences? in a game?? in 2026??? what a time to be alive
Who cares about AAA visuals when a game has a good story and atmosphere? Can't wait to play this!
Looks fine to me, I just want a decent vampire game to fill the void left by the VtM: Bloodlines 2 disaster.
Just imagine if this game does well, then they'll have the funding to improve on graphics and such in the next game.
Fine. Dawnwalker is back on my list.
