The Blood of Dawnwalker: 8 Minutes of Quest Gameplay | IGN First

Video Overview & Insights

Ready your silver blades and holy water because July’s IGN First is The Blood of Dawnwalker. This upcoming RPG from developer Rebel Wolves casts you as Coen, a cursed man who must live as a human by day and a vampire by night. Mastering both sides of his existence is the key to saving his family from a court of evil bloodsuckers.

really cool, but it doesnt look like aaa game, more like aa, so the price is a bit too high

— @Muf44sa

To kick off our month of exclusive content, we bring you brand new gameplay from one of The Blood of Dawnwalker’s prologue quests. In Deep Down, a young Coen - not yet afflicted by the vampirism curse - explores an underground ruin in search of Lazar, a local man who’s gone missing. In the depths of the caves he finds much more than just a lost man. By examining an ancient mural, Coen learns of old heroes and hidden treasure.

This walking sim part with constant clicking X button is extremely boring

— @sajethan

This eight-minute The Blood of the Dawnwalker gameplay video showcases a few elements, including an investigation system that allows you to discover hidden lore and reveal the existence of special loot. And, of course, there’s swordplay – the video concludes with a swift boss fight against The Forgotten Guardian.

Exclusive gameplay XD 😅😅😅

Thanks for helping me to fall asleep!

Fire the marketer! I've changed my mind about buying!

That fire on the torch looks TERRIBLE

Looks Great

Sadly, it is not 2015 anymore. The Witcher 3 formula has been fucked to death. Walking, talking and pressing X doesn't do it anymore for me. Huge disappointment.

@kier6769

That movement "get behind me" was absolutely awful. They need to fix that before release. Also this character seems to have no real character to him. Just dead pan. Not sure this game is going to do very well.

70$ - NO!
27$ - YES!
Gameplay on 7:30.)

How did this gameplay come out on time, if I was worried earlier, now I definitely won't take the game and I'll spend more time on Onimusha

@StefanMelchiott
@

Dude is screaming ouch while knowing there's something down there, but then Coen tells him to hush? Bit too late for that lol.

@CrystallineLore

The poor NPC even screams: "Enough. Let's go, please!" XD

You guys are so spoiled. Like my God, does everything need to perfectly suit your needs and expectations in order for you to enjoy it? Literal children.

The ads are ridiculous! For almost a decade I visited IGN at least once a day, but over the last 3 months if I visit once a week that's a lot. Today I noticed that it had been 12 days since the last time I searched for "IGN". Between the ads run every 90 seconds during a video, and the full "free to play" commercials they masquerade as content, I have no need to visit this channel. I had you scroll so far back to find something interesting I ran into the last video I watched 12 days ago before finding something worthwhile.

Animations look very choppy

@Andrii311

this game looks rough

@TheF174

After this no Im not buying

@playstation0002
@

Idk but Witcher 3 looking more fluid than this combat mechanics

@zibroplays
@

its basically witcher 3 with vampires...0 graphical improvements, bit disappointing ngl

@Wunderwutzl
@

Ok this was NOT a good idea and totally a hype killer, but i'm gonna keep my reservation. Had I seen a gameplay from The Witcher 1, I never would have bought it... and I love that game so much still to this day

@luiscamacho2862
@

Lazar giving Johnny Vegas vibes 😅

@melkhior9897
@

Id cut the companions lines down he had something to say every 10 seconds got annoying. Plus ancient legendary boss was dead in less than 10 sec. 1. She better drop the helm that looked awesome. 2. Difficulty has gotta be increased (or maybe they dumbed it down for ign 😂) 3. wouldve been nice to see that torch burn the webs as he walked past them. 4. The tomb needed raided.

@catalystzer0344

I like the part where the guy walked around for a loooooong tiiiiiime

@slatibardfast
@

Well.... I was beating myself up for deciding against the collector's edition... but after seeing this..... I went ahead and happily refunded my copy from Steam.... This video alone has completely destroyed the game for me and I want my 8 minutes of my life back.

@Heartkiller1991
@

The 2D fire on the torch is catching me off guard

@patrykmalcher
@

Was looking forward to buying this game. Now the hype is officially dead.

@WINSTONMOORE-v6y
@

Looks terrible, well done

@Alessandro-SimpleGaming
@

This game looks worse the closer it gets to release lol.

@tyler-hp7oq
@

8 Minutes Gameplay. 6 mins for looking at Pictures on the wall, 2 for Looting and Look at footprints. Never Seen that before. 😂

@kevinstrametz1990
@

What is that combat lmao. I don't expect Fromsoft level of difficulty but come on lol.

@Maitredebo2
@

Well I know what game I’m not buying

@A1kterry
@

I don't really need to push button to understand the story on the wall. I am kinda worried this game is going to be way too hand holding to be memorable or even fun. They also got rid of the directional combat by the looks of things which is just another feature watered down for exposure. Like the developers lost confidence and made the game hyper accessible for people rather then taking a risk and being more unique

@BIGRED47
@

50/50, i don't think it's can be priced for 70$... 30 is max... UE5 = 💩

@Evil_Polski_Husarz
@

God why are people so miserable

@deathGod252
@

Ngl Everything about this looked rough, even the dialogue. The writing especially seemed rough here.

@astrojeet
@

i just want to play more witcher iii so i really have no problem with this gameplay. this is literally just an average witcher iii quest. calm down everybody.

@johnnydangerously8782
@

knew it was gonna be ass from the first reveal. i know capcom saw this and changed their release date for onimusha to the day after this drops cuz they know this is gonna flop

@nextgenjah
@

lol it's literally just the witcher 3 but vampires(yes I know witcher has vampires)

@sloth321
@

I can't wait for this game!

@ohiostatebuck33
@

The fire look like nintendo 64

@Iionpeach
@

70$ for this game is not a good idea my friend

@nasimacdnanovic1196
@

2026 and we still getting games like this 🙄

@thegreenguy3030
@

Please Mack the learning skills of Coen no story Time cost I want to be absolute power house ❤

@cosmicmindpowerlifeforce840
@

The combat looks downgraded compared to Witcher 3

@KingGoblin-XI
@

Went from my most anticipated to most disappointing. This looks bad.

@1ion813
@

looks like shit. it's funny how the torch does not do anything. the way dude waited for 5 seconds doing nothing while the enemy was stunned is hilarious.

@jadejade2695
@

Oh, dear.... repeating dialogue just 30 seconds in..... "Ouch.... ow... ah.... ah....". Is that really the best you could do?

@DmonHiro
@

The more material that appears, the more I'm convinced that not pre-ordering was a very good decision. The game looks like The Witcher 3, only with slightly improved graphics. Wooden combat, strange, unnatural character movements, repetitive environments with copy-and-paste details (those stalactites, etc., look identical), and that fire...

It's 2026, and marketing like "a game by the people who worked on The Witcher and Cyberpunk" won't help anymore – certainly not after this gameplay.
