The Blood of Dawnwalker release times for PC and console

The Blood of Dawnwalker is a time-focused RPG set in 14th-century Europe. During daylight, protagonist Coen explores the world as a human; after dark, he becomes a vampire with powerful abilities.

Every action uses valuable time, and your choices shape how much of the day remains to rescue Coen’s family. Here are the global launch times, including the Australian release.
