PS5 RPG Dawnwalker Isn’t Even Out Yet, But Its Modern Day Sequel Just Got a Crazy Teaser Trailer
Rebel Wolves has unveiled an ambitious vision for the Dawnwalker franchise, teasing a sequel titled The Blood of Dawnwalker before the original game has even launched. The developer released a CGI teaser trailer showcasing the protagonist Coen surviving in modern times, signaling the dark fantasy saga’s expansion well beyond the upcoming PS5 RPG.
The announcement demonstrates the studio’s confidence in the Dawnwalker property and its long-term potential. While the first game appears to be set in a dark fantasy setting, the teased sequel represents a significant tonal and temporal shift, bringing the narrative into a contemporary setting. This approach suggests Rebel Wolves intends to use Coen’s character as an anchor across multiple eras and genres.
The studio’s willingness to tease future installments before the inaugural title’s release reflects growing industry trends of establishing interconnected franchise universes from the outset. However, some observers note the strategic risk of promoting sequels before establishing the original game’s commercial and critical success.
Dawnwalker remains scheduled as an upcoming PS5 exclusive RPG, with no confirmed release date announced. The teaser provides the first concrete glimpse into the developer’s expansion strategy for the franchise, positioning it as more than a standalone RPG but rather the foundation of a larger transmedia property.
