The Blood of Dawnwalker Sequel Is Already Moving Forward After Huge Launch Success
Rebel Wolves appears ready to expand the Dawnwalker saga sooner than many fans expected. After the impressive debut of The Blood of Dawnwalker, the studio is already preparing for what comes next, with active hiring underway for a lead writer to help shape the sequel’s story.
The Blood of Dawnwalker has quickly become one of the most talked-about new releases, earning strong reviews and major commercial momentum shortly after launch. According to the studio’s narrative director, Jakub Szamalek, the game sold more than one million copies during its opening weekend, a remarkable start for a new fantasy franchise.
Rather than slowing down after the game’s successful release, Rebel Wolves is already looking ahead. Szamalek shared that the studio is searching for a lead writer who can work with the existing narrative team to build “the next chapter in the Dawnwalker saga.” The role is aimed at someone with exceptional writing ability, proven experience, and the leadership skills needed to manage a creative writing team.
For fans, this strongly suggests that The Blood of Dawnwalker was never intended to be a one-off project. That lines up with earlier messaging from publisher Bandai Namco, which introduced the game as the first entry in a broader Dawnwalker franchise. The official Dawnwalker channel has also previously described the series as one that could “span centuries, continents, and cultures across the globe.”
That statement opens the door to a much larger universe. Future Dawnwalker games could explore different eras, regions, myths, and conflicts while keeping the franchise’s core identity intact. If Rebel Wolves follows this direction, the series may grow into a wide-reaching historical dark fantasy saga, with each entry offering a new setting and fresh narrative themes.
Additional details from a Polish job listing offer more clues about the studio’s ambitions. The lead writer role calls for experience in creating interactive, non-linear stories and dialogue, suggesting that player choice and branching storytelling may remain central to the sequel. The listing also highlights familiarity with the history and folklore of Central and Eastern Europe, hinting that the next Dawnwalker game could continue drawing inspiration from the region’s rich legends, traditions, and historical atmosphere.
This focus could help the franchise stand out in the crowded fantasy RPG space. Central and Eastern European folklore contains a vast collection of myths, monsters, beliefs, and cultural conflicts that are still underused in mainstream games. By blending those elements with non-linear storytelling, Rebel Wolves has the opportunity to create a sequel that feels both familiar to fans of dark fantasy and distinct from other major RPG series.
While official gameplay details, platforms, and a release window for the sequel have not yet been announced, the hiring move shows that planning is already underway. Given the first game’s strong reception and sales performance, it is clear that Rebel Wolves and Bandai Namco see major long-term potential in the Dawnwalker name.
For now, fans of The Blood of Dawnwalker can take this as an exciting sign: the saga is only beginning. If the studio continues building on its narrative strengths, the next Dawnwalker game could expand the franchise into an even more ambitious world of history, folklore, choice-driven storytelling, and dark fantasy adventure.
