The Blood of Dawnwalker Sells Over 1 Million Copies in Just Days
The Blood of Dawnwalker has achieved a major sales milestone just days after its launch, with developer Rebel Wolves confirming that the dark fantasy action RPG has surpassed one million copies sold worldwide.
The game officially launched on September 3, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The one-million milestone was announced on September 5, meaning the game reached the figure within roughly two days of release. Rebel Wolves did not reveal exactly when the milestone was reached or provide a breakdown of sales between the different platforms.
The achievement is particularly notable because The Blood of Dawnwalker is the debut title from Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by veterans of CD Projekt Red, including developers who previously worked on games such as The Witcher 3. The project also represents a completely new intellectual property rather than an established franchise.
Set in a dark fantasy version of 14th-century Europe, the game follows Coen, a young man who gains vampiric abilities while attempting to save his family. Players can make use of human abilities during the day and supernatural powers at night, creating different approaches to exploration, combat, and quests.
One of the game's defining mechanics is its emphasis on time and player choice. The story gives players a limited period to accomplish their goals, while decisions and actions can influence the world and the direction of the narrative. This structure is designed to encourage players to make meaningful choices rather than simply completing every activity available.
The game's early performance on PC has also attracted attention. According to SteamDB data reported after launch, The Blood of Dawnwalker reached more than 64,000 concurrent players on Steam, although this figure only represents the PC audience and does not account for console players.
Reaching one million copies so quickly gives Rebel Wolves a strong start for its first project and could provide additional momentum for the studio's plans to establish The Blood of Dawnwalker as the beginning of a larger role-playing saga.
For now, the one-million milestone represents an impressive early result for a new IP competing in a particularly busy gaming period. With the game now available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, its long-term performance will determine whether its strong launch can develop into sustained commercial success.
