The Blood of Dawnwalker has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide, the studio confirmed on social media, just two days after its September 3 launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X\/S. The game hit 1 million sales fast enough that most of it likely came from day-one momentum, though Rebel Wolves hasn&#8217;t broken down sales by platform. The Blood of Dawnwalker is an open-world dark fantasy RPG set in 14th-century Europe, built in Unreal Engine 5. Players control Coen, who&#8217;s human by day and a vampire by night, as he tries to save his family within a strict 30-day in-game clock. <\/p>\n<p>Rebel Wolves is led by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, former director on The Witcher 3, and this is the studio&#8217;s first release since it was founded in 2022. As expected with a first release, the launch also comes with some rough edges. Performance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/review\/the-blood-of-dawnwalker-steam-deck-xbox-ally-x-claw-8-ex-performance-benchmark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Steam Deck and other Windows handhelds<\/a> has required real compromises to remain playable, and the game&#8217;s most popular Nexus Mods download reportedly conflicts with its core survival mechanics. However, none of that seems to have slowed sales much so far. It&#8217;s still early days for the game, but crossing a million copies in under 48 hours is quite rare for a completely new IP.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/c0Erk6tYMw8eJ7ne.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"1707\" data-height=\"960\" data-fancybox=\"g352397\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/c0Erk6tYMw8eJ7ne_thm.jpg\" width=\"231\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/YTfuJkmsMRd3P0Cj.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"1707\" data-height=\"960\" data-fancybox=\"g352397\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/YTfuJkmsMRd3P0Cj_thm.jpg\" width=\"231\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rebel Wolves&#8217; debut game is certainly off to a strong start.
