In The Blood of Dawnwalker, 14th century Europe, still suffering the effects of war and plague, sure looks like the kind of muddy hellhole Geralt would tromp across in The Witcher 3. And its protagonist, the half-vampire Coen, has a similar “almost human but actually something more” vibe to him—a gruff but acceptable monster we need to fight the real villains for us.

When asked if he was comfortable seeing The Blood of Dawnwalker compared to The Witcher 3 by The Game Business, game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz said he was, “Really comfortable. I feel really confident about our game.”
