The Blood of Dawnwalker, a role-playing video game released on September 3, 2026, has exceeded one million copies sold in its first weekend, according to a recent report. This impressive success has prompted the Polish studio Rebel Wolves to begin planning a sequel. Available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PC, the game received widespread critical acclaim for its narrative, writing, and immersive world-building. The game's narrative director, Jakub Szamalek, shared on LinkedIn on September 8 that the team is actively seeking a lead writer to help develop the sequel. He emphasized that while the team is proud of its achievements, it is already looking ahead and not resting on its success.
Rebel Wolves is searching for a lead writer with strong experience in the gaming industry, a proven track record in writing, and leadership skills. The studio aims to build on the strengths of The Blood of Dawnwalker, particularly its narrative and universe, while introducing fresh ideas and perspectives. Szamalek noted that the new writer will help maintain the game’s creative momentum and ensure the sequel continues to evolve. The upcoming game will respect the player’s choices in the first game, with none of the multiple endings being considered official or influencing the sequel's storyline.
The sequel is expected to follow a narrative style similar to the Assassin’s Creed series, taking players through various time periods, potentially spanning several centuries. A teaser trailer titled "A Glimpse Into The Future" showed a character named Coen in a present-day setting, styled like the film Interview with a Vampire. While the next game may not include a similar time jump, the concept of time travel remains a key element in the series' future. The developers also plan to enhance gameplay mechanics, such as combat and animations, to improve the overall experience.
As a spiritual successor to The Witcher series, The Blood of Dawnwalker has established a strong foundation for future projects. With its success, Rebel Wolves is positioned to continue expanding its universe, offering fans more adventures in a richly developed world. The upcoming sequel promises to deliver a compelling story, deeper exploration of the game's lore, and refined gameplay, keeping players engaged for years to come.
