Blood of the Dawnwalker was shown off last week, a game developed by Rebel Wolves, a studio that is made up of industry veterans that worked on the likes of The Witcher 3. In fact, The Witcher 3’s director is the one at the helm, while several developers at CD Projekt Red are also totally on board with the studio’s game, and vice versa.
Ever since the announcement, Rebel Wolves has opened up more and more about the game, revealing little tidbits about the studio’s history and development, while it has also now given us a few more details about things in the game itself. In an FAQ posted on the game’s official Discord server (thanks MP1st), details about the game’s magic, romance options, and story were revealed.
Blood Of The Dawnwalker Will Have “Less Flashy” Magic And Romance Options
Magic Will Be Quite Rare In Vale Sangora
In this FAQ, a variety of questions were answered, but one of the juicer bits of info was regarding how magic will work in the game. While some pretty wild stuff happened during the game’s reveal trailer, it has been explained that magic will be a lot “less flashy” than in other fantasy games, and revolve around the occult. Don’t go expecting to be able to fling fireballs or lightning bolts around.

Geralt of Rivia was a renowned horn dog before he settled down, having to choose between the Triss and Yennefer, so here’s hoping that The Blood of the Dawnwalker’s protagonist gets an easier decision to make. It’s Team Triss, by the way.
