Two characters standing in a chamber filled with a glowing red energy.

Make the story your own

Experience and shape the plot the way you want. Save your family, or swear revenge on your sire and destroy everyone standing in your way. Rush in headfirst or risk taking time to prepare. Go alone or forge unlikely alliances.

Sparks fly as Coen uses his claws to slide down a castle wall.

Day and night

Experience two different gameplay loops, offering distinct abilities to choose from, mysteries to uncover, and varying ways to achieve your goals. Experiment with different approaches and discover how the world reacts to your actions.

Coen sits up as the freshly inscribed runes on his torso glow red hot.

Every action matters

Every action - and inaction - shapes the world around you. Your family’s days are numbered, and every time you take on a quest, time moves forward, compelling you closer to the end. Choose carefully whom to help and whom to leave behind.

In a castle courtyard, Coen holds his sword ready to defend himself against a trio of knights.

Sword, claws, and rage

Defy gravity, become a brutal force of nature, and use your supernatural skills as a vampire. Or raise your sword, and employ powerful magic to take on opponents as a human. Experiment and adapt as your form changes during the day and night.

Coen happens on a group of peasants cooking by a fire in the open countryside.

Open world brimming with adventure

Venture through the hand-crafted open world and discover all it has to offer. Explore forgotten ruins, find remnants of an ancient civilization, and uncover truths that should probably remain hidden.

Game details

14th-century Europe. Bloody conflicts sweep the lands, and the Black Death comes for the survivors. It's a moment of weakness - and that's all they needed. Vampires seize their opportunity to walk out of the shadows and claim what they've been denied for centuries: freedom, and the power that comes with it. Other creatures of the night follow their lead. Legends turn into reality, and history as we know it will never be the same.

You play as Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night. Fight for your humanity or embrace the cursed powers to save your family. Whatever your choice, the question stands: is your soul worth the lives of those you love?

Become The Dawnwalker - Experience the beginning of a brand-new saga built with love for the role-playing genre. Immerse yourself in a visually stunning world powered by the next-gen Unreal Engine 5.
