Key Features:
14TH-CENTURY EUROPE: Set against the haunting backdrop of 14th-century Europe, The Blood of Dawnwalker plunges players into a world torn apart by war and plague. As bloody battles rage and the Black Death decimates entire cities, humanity teeters on the edge of extinction.

VAMPIRES SEIZE THEIR OPPORTUNITY: From the depths of myth, vampires emerge—no longer hiding in the shadows. In the wake of humanity's collapse, they seize their long-awaited chance to dominate. Freed from centuries of secrecy, they claim their place atop the food chain, wielding ancient power with terrifying confidence.
And they're not alone. Other night-born horrors follow, reshaping the world into a living nightmare. Legends come to life, and the course of history is rewritten in blood.
YOU PLAY AS COEN: Once an ordinary man, now transformed into something inhuman—Coen walks the razor's edge between light and shadow. Gifted and cursed with vampire powers, he must battle inner darkness while navigating a world torn apart by monsters and war.
Will you cling to your fading humanity or unleash the full force of your cursed strength to protect those you love?
Every choice brings you closer to the truth…
But how much of your soul are you willing to sacrifice?
COMBINE VAMPIRIC STRENGTH WITH HUMAN RESOLVE: Unleash the deadly power of a vampire while holding onto the willpower of your human soul.Master a unique combat style that blends agility, raw strength, and strategic decision-making.
