How to Prepare for The Blood of Dawnwalker
The Blood of Dawnwalker is a dark fantasy open world action RPG brought to us by some of the lead developers who worked on the fantastic The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
The game takes place in the 14th century, during which the Black Plague is sweeping across Europe. You play as Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker who has to embark on a quest to rescue his family before it’s too late.
The Blood of Dawnwalker has a heavy focus on narrative and choices. Every decision you make, every path you decide to take or ignore will affect how the story plays out, opening the door to vastly different experiences each time you go through the game.
Additionally, the game has multiple editions with different digital and/or physical goodies depending on which one you buy.
