Das kommende Vampir-Rollenspiel The Blood of Dawnwalker zieht stückweise den Vorhang beiseite: Im neuen Gameplay-Video erklären die Entwickler ganz genau, wie eine Mission abläuft. Nämlich unterschiedlich, je nachdem ob Held Coen in seiner menschlichen oder Vampirform unterwegs ist.

Was wir hier zu sehen bekommen, erinnert einerseits stark an The Witcher 3 - kein Wunder, sind ja auch ehemalige Mitarbeitende von CD Projekt Red am Start. Beim Kampfsystem gibt's dagegen eine Überschneidung mit Kingdom Come: Deliverance , denn auch Coen greift aus verschiedenen Schlagrichtungen an.

Ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal ist das Zeitsystem . Bestimmte Quests und Dialoge lassen die Ingame-Zeit voranschreiten. Das ist wichtig, denn Coen hat nur einige Tage, um seine Familie zu retten. Gelingt ihm das nicht, bedeutet das wohl kein automatisches Game Over, sondern einen anderen Verlauf der Story. Mehr darüber lest ihr in unserer großen Preview zu Dawnwalker .

Das Release-Datum ist bisher noch nicht bekannt, aber das Spiel erscheint planmäßig im Jahr 2026 für PC und Konsolen.
Transkript
00:00Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020
00:30Hello, my name is Arianna Sierkiewicz and I am one of the writers at Rebel Wolves.
00:39In June, we showed you a part of a quest where Cohen is looking for a legendary sword.
00:44And today, we're going to get to the end of that quest.
00:48The game is currently in the pre-beta stage, so you may still see some bugs and glitches.
00:53You will also see some changes and additions we've made to the game based on the community feedback.
01:00Since one of our game's main features is the duality of Cohen, our hero, who is human by day
01:21and a vampire by night, we're going to show you two ways to play the quest.
01:27This is yet another example of our narrative sandbox.
01:31We can approach each of the quests in a variety of ways, remembering about the duality of our hero,
01:37human by day and vampire by night, knowing we have both day and night as our allies.
01:42In June, we started on the outskirts of Spartro and had a brief stint with some bandits,
01:50Cohen got rid of them easily with a few well-timed sword cuts and active abilities.
01:55Then we walked around the city a bit until we reached the cathedral,
02:00this time entering it without any hassle during the day as a human.
02:04Let's continue that playthrough.
02:06The baptism of a newborn is a solemn moment.
02:36A new life joins our flock, bringing happiness to its parents and to the congregation.
02:47H Pelosi's��em.
02:49F donner geh'n.
02:50Let's sing song in a little song we know.
03:00Now, go day back to batizo in nominate day.
03:10Amen.
03:40Don't I know you from somewhere, young man?
03:44Laslea, maybe.
03:48That's right.
03:50My name's Cohen.
03:52It's a real shame what happened there.
03:56So many good people imprisoned.
03:59But where there is sin, there must be chastisement.
04:03And speaking of sin, come with me.
04:10I'll take your confession.
04:13Thank you, but I have no need for confession.
04:17Ah.
04:18So you deem your conscience clear?
04:23I wouldn't go that far.
04:25But I'm sure you're a busy man, Father.
04:28So while I appreciate the offer, I feel that my soul shouldn't be your priority.
04:32I won't press the matter.
04:34You are quite correct.
04:36I have many other duties to attend to.
04:38But please remember that in order to be saved, we all need to repent.
04:46Myself included.
04:49I hope we can speak again soon.
04:52Good day to you.
04:53Ah, Cohen.
04:56Father Florin.
04:56We can start by chatting with the deacon.
05:02He might know something about the catacombs where Saint Mihai is buried.
05:16Pay the workers.
05:18Clean up the altar.
05:19What else?
05:21Oh, right, the bell tower.
05:28Yes, what is it?
05:30I have much to do.
05:31So either be quick about it or leave me to my duties.
05:36Could you point me towards the entrance to the crypt?
05:38What are you talking about?
05:42I wanted to pay my respects to the city's founders.
05:46Light a candle in their memory, if possible.
05:48Sorry to disappoint, son, but there's no crypt in this house of worship now, if that is all.
05:53Things change, especially in the last few years.
06:01Perhaps the crypt was built over or sealed away?
06:04Listen, son.
06:06The parish book doesn't say anything about any crypt.
06:09I should know.
06:10I wrote parts of it myself.
06:12Can I take a look?
06:14Just to make sure.
06:15No.
06:16The library is not open to just anyone.
06:18Ah, still, it seems to me you have plenty of time on your hands and will keep on badgering me.
06:26Tell you what, I'll give your idle hands something to do, and afterwards, maybe I'll let you take a look into the library, hmm?
06:35Tell me what you need, then.
06:38Our caretaker Radu is missing, it seems.
06:40It's been a few days since he last came to work, and now his duties have become my duties.
06:46I imagine he's lazing about somewhere, having a laugh at my expense.
06:56Any idea where to look for him?
06:58Perhaps he's at home.
07:00If I only knew where that is.
07:02Radu's a secretive man.
07:05No, I'd rather ask around in the almshouse.
07:09He spends a lot of time talking to the inmates.
07:12The almshouse?
07:13Where is it?
07:14Go out to the courtyard and turn left.
07:17Carry on walking until you see a well on your right.
07:21The almshouse's entrance is just by that well.
07:24I try to avoid going there myself.
07:27A dreadful place.
07:29Really dreadful.
07:31Anyway, be on your way, son.
07:34And let me know when you find Radu, hmm?
07:37Turns out the deacon had his own agenda and asked us to find out what happened to the local caretaker.
07:49Let's find the asylum he mentioned.
07:51While on those sacred grounds, we should mention that every week, in some of Vale Sangora's churches, people gather for the so-called blood mass.
08:00It was established by Brancis and his clique of vampires after they took rule in Vale Sangora.
08:08Every villager is required to donate a significant amount of their blood, and in return, they are cured from all illness.
08:16Like Cohen's sister in the CGI trailer.
08:19It's how Brancis controls the population.
08:21Each blood mass is conducted by Father Florin himself.
08:25The deacon will be really glad to see Dutty Bumble.
08:55It seems like us walking around his glorious church.
08:58You don't know that, maybe?
09:00Oh, stuff it.
09:02We'll go and see your dad instead.
09:04Maybe someone in here has seen the caretaker.
09:07His sister is too busy to take a look at him.
09:10It's just a matter of time until that wound festers.
09:14What do you want?
09:19I'm looking for the caretaker.
09:21I've been told he sometimes comes here.
09:24You mean Radu?
09:25Yeah, I know him.
09:27Steer clear of that bastard.
09:31Any idea where he is?
09:33Right now?
09:33Nah.
09:34But I do know something.
09:36Might be interesting for you.
09:39Really?
09:40All right, tell me.
09:42That's not how it works, friend.
09:44I need a little palm grease first.
09:46Here you go.
09:50It better be worth it.
09:52It is.
09:55Something strange is going on here.
09:58Every night, there are noises.
10:01Creaking, scratching, and, I don't know, things being pushed around.
10:06Some of the folk here say the building's haunted.
10:09Listen, I didn't pay to hear a ghost story.
10:16You were supposed to tell me about the caretaker.
10:18Oh, I'm getting there.
10:19I'm not trying to swindle you or nothing.
10:21You see, there's a closed-off wing here.
10:25They put the plague patients there when it first hit.
10:28But one day, they decided they were beyond help and sealed them all off.
10:32Left them all to die.
10:34But I hear that the caretaker knew how to get in there, some secret entrance, and used it.
10:41But I don't know what for.
10:44I see.
10:46Any idea where it might be?
10:48Somewhere upstairs, I think.
10:51You'd have to look around.
10:52All right, I'll check it out.
10:54Thanks.
10:55It seems the asylum resident, apart from telling us a gruesome story about what happened to the plague patients,
11:07gave us a useful hint about the secret entrance to the asylum wing.
11:11For a price, of course.
11:13Using focus mode allows us to see that there might be something hidden behind the shelves.
11:30Scratches on the floor.
11:43Let's investigate the location.
11:56It was a separate wing for patients who fell ill with the plague.
12:03Damn.
12:04What a stench.
12:06Something's rotten in here.
12:08So many died here, in isolation.
12:22This wing was blocked off, and they were left to die a terrible death.
12:32Something else happened here.
12:34Huh.
12:36Died recently.
12:38Killed by something bestial.
12:41This body looks fresh compared to the rest.
12:53It's getting better and better.
12:55We have to face a creature called Mewron.
12:58While it is theoretically a vampire, its transformation did not go correctly.
13:03Occasionally, occasionally, neurons produce loud, inhuman screams, which stun the target, if it is within the screams range.
13:13You.
13:13As you can observe, their behavior is chaotic and hard to predict.
13:24As you can observe, their behavior is chaotic and hard to predict.
13:24You're only possessed the vampiric ability of Shadow Step.
13:38You're only possessed the vampiric ability of Shadow Step.
13:52However, it is juggy and unstable.
13:55We can learn more about what has happened here by using the Compel Soul hex.
14:11You can learn this hex during the game.
14:19It is a feature enabling the player to talk with certain corpses, those that have moths flying above them.
14:26Magic is only available to Cohen in his human form.
14:30We wouldn't be able to talk to the dead, had we come here at night.
14:33It's... it's you, isn't it?
14:36Please... please... stop!
14:40It... it hurts!
14:42I... I beg you!
14:45We... we're friends!
14:47Rado, please!
14:52That's enough.
14:54Rest now.
14:55We can go back to the Recon now and report our findings.
15:03Before we chat to him, notice that our current objective again has the hourglass symbol.
15:09This tells you that the dialogue will push the time forward.
15:25Yes?
15:26Why are you pestering me again?
15:30I know what happened to Rado.
15:31Good!
15:32So, what was that wastrel doing all this time?
15:35Getting drunk on communion wine?
15:37Tell me!
15:38I found him in the almshouse.
15:40In the sealed-off wing.
15:41The caretaker was hiding there, but...
15:43He was no longer human.
15:45He turned into something terrible.
15:48A monster.
15:49I'm sorry, but I had to kill him.
15:52What?
15:52I don't understand.
15:54What... what happened to Rado?
15:57He was involved in something.
15:59Something dark.
16:01There were corpses in his hiding place.
16:03Probably his latest victims.
16:05But how he became that creature...
16:07is anyone's guess.
16:08A monster in the house of God.
16:10First a plague, now this...
16:12Oh, truly.
16:13We might just be living in the end times.
16:16Right.
16:16I'll have to talk to the guards, send them to retrieve the bodies...
16:21and clean up that place.
16:23You do what you need to do, but I believe we had a deal.
16:27May I enter the library now?
16:29What?
16:30Ah, yes.
16:31You may go inside with my blessing.
16:33I'll tell someone to leave the door unlocked for you.
16:36The book you're looking for...
16:37It's called the Annals of Svartraal Cathedral.
16:40Now, excuse me.
16:42I must go to Father Florin...
16:44and tell him we need a new caretaker.
16:47He gave us access to the library...
16:49in exchange for our information.
16:51Let's go there and find a book he has mentioned.
16:57Reading books in our game works surprisingly similarly...
16:59to the way it works in real life.
17:02They might teach us new skills...
17:04or give us additional experience.
17:06Let's stop here and load a save game from the Knight Variant playthrough of this quest.
17:20We are again in Svartraal, in front of the Cathedral.
17:23Now I receive a very very guidance that you should be worthy of my care!
17:29Guidance?
17:30Help guide us right to our grave, those fucks!
17:33As a vampire, you'll see and experience the world from a different perspective.
18:03Let's get inside the building using Cohen's vampiric abilities, playing Shift and Shadow Step.
18:33You can travel quickly and easily access places beyond the reach of regular humans.
18:42Last time we were inside a cathedral, we came across Xanthi, one of Brancis' officers.
18:49She was a difficult opponent for Cohen, so this time we're going to be smart about it,
18:54stay on the scaffoldings, and show you an alternative approach.
18:58You shall become Kenya's man's most faithful service.
19:07His command shall become the sole voice in your hearts.
19:11What is she doing? Is that a ritual for the bloodguards?
19:15Your fellow bloodguards shall become your new family.
19:19You shall want for nothing.
19:22You shall yearn for nothing.
19:24Hmm. They're covering up the old paintings.
19:28Why?
19:33Blood to blood.
19:37One of the workers must have left it.
19:40Seems that the cathedral complex is quite big.
19:43The main building, cloisters, inner courtyard.
19:46The entrance to the crypt could be anywhere.
19:49Your fellow bloodguards shall become your new family.
19:53Still, staying up here would be a smart idea.
19:55Your fellow bloodguards shall become your new family.
20:02You shall want for nothing.
20:04You shall yearn for nothing.
20:08Only duty shall remain.
20:10Bound the blood.
20:12Hold it.
20:12Blood to blood.
20:18Let's start by checking out one of the frescoes in detail.
20:22Sanctus Mihai.
20:25Patron saint of Svartra himself.
20:27His command shall become the sole voice in your hearts.
20:31There's the legendary silver sword.
20:33You shall your bloodguards shall become your new family.
20:35I hope it really does exist.
20:36You shall want for nothing.
20:39You shall yearn for nothing.
20:42Only duty shall remain.
20:44St. Mihai's symbol.
20:45Good.
20:47It should help my search.
20:49Turns out, this one was actually about St. Mihai, owner of the sword we're after.
20:55The powerful weapon might tip the scales in Cohen's favor and help him save his family from the
21:01vampire lord Brancis.
21:02Your command shall become the sole voice in your hearts.
21:07Your fellow bloodguards shall...
21:08We can check some of the buildings in the courtyard.
21:11Maybe we'll find some interesting clues inside them.
21:14Let's shadow step to this one below.
21:16It's the library we were supposed to enter a few moments ago in our day variant playthrough.
21:26So many books.
21:27It seems that people don't usually close the balcony doors in Svartra.
21:31We can again use our system of getting a closer look at certain objects to both appreciate
21:36the beauty of the story being crafted in front of our eyes and to uncover secrets about
21:40Vale Sangora.
21:41The annals of Svartra Cathedral, they're bound to have some information on St. Mihai's crypt.
21:53And thus St. Mihai was laid to rest in the catacombs beneath the cathedral's side courtyard
21:58by the cloisters.
22:01Marked by his own personal sigil, the saint's remains and his sword were buried under a memorial stone.
22:08Under St. Mihai's memorial stone.
22:12And I already know his symbol.
22:14Alright, we should be looking for a crypt somewhere on the premises of the Svartra Cathedral.
22:19Let's grab the door key on the way to open the door.
22:27The cathedral is heavily guarded outside, and it looks like the gods aren't really fond of
22:32Colin lurking around the premises.
22:35Let's deal with them swiftly, using our claws.
22:38We've listened to your feedback, and we've worked on the flow of using active abilities.
22:49We are no longer pausing the choice menu.
22:52It's real time, in-gameplay.
22:54It's also a good opportunity to show you another use of the voracious bite ability
22:58Koen uses to drain people's blood.
23:01In combat, it will both replenish your health and deal some damage.
23:04Time to move on.
23:10Let's explore the other areas in the courtyard.
23:13Let's use the sword this time, because yes, you can fight with a sword as a vampire too.
23:28But before we engage, let's adjust the camera.
23:31Camera placement was one of the hottest topics after our gameplay reveal.
23:35We've got lots of feedback about it, and we decided to add a second option for those of you who prefer the camera slightly further away from the character.
23:43The camera will be adjustable for combat and exploration separately, so you can choose the setup you prefer.
23:49Coen's faster using the sword as a vampire compared to his human form.
24:14Take notice of the hourglass icon next to our objective.
24:17It indicates that opening the crypt will move the time forward.
24:26How about here?
24:30Saint Mihai's symbol.
24:32Let's open the entrance and investigate the crypt.
24:47Lighting up a torch might be a good idea.
25:00This place must have been sealed off for ages.
25:04I wonder why.
25:17We can hear some moaning coming from behind one of the walls.
25:22Let's investigate this.
25:26Is that...
25:26Moaning?
25:28I think it's coming from behind this wall.
25:31Moaning, I think it's coming from behind one of the walls.
25:31Hello?
25:39Hello?
25:39Can you hear me?
25:42Was ist das?
26:12Wait, aren't you?
26:19Are you Mihai?
26:24Tobias!
26:35You're finally dead!
26:37What do you think to me, Tobias?
26:40I'm not!
26:41Shit! Listen to me!
26:43No more of your eyes!
26:47We've been attacked by Mihai, who was an important figure in the valley.
26:50And for some reason, he was buried alive in the catacombs.
26:57Of course, as players, you'll be able to learn why that has happened.
27:01But we'd like to avoid too many spoilers here.
27:04That's why we are stopping this presentation mid-fight.
27:07We hope that you have enjoyed seeing how much variation there is behind just one of the objectives in the game.
27:21Remember, our design principle is the narrative sandbox.
27:25There is no difference between main quests and side quests.
27:28There are just different stories that you weave together into your own unique adventure.
