Rebel Wolves does not intend to wait long before expanding its new franchise. The studio has begun work on the next instalment in The Blood of Dawnwalker, although the project is still at an early stage. This is confirmed by an announcement from Jakub Szamałek, Rebel Wolves' narrative director, who is seeking a lead writer to craft the next chapter of the saga. The first instalment proved a major success, selling over a million copies within just a few days of release. The job listing also reveals some details about the direction the plot of the next game may take.
Rebel Wolves is already working on the next instalment
The news of a sequel appeared in a LinkedIn post by Jakub Szamałek. Rebel Wolves' narrative director said he is looking for a Lead Writer to join the team responsible for the narrative of the next chapter of the Dawnwalker saga. This means that The Blood of Dawnwalker 2 is already in the studio's plans, although a quick release should not be expected. The mere fact that they are looking for a lead writer shows the project is still at a relatively early stage of production. Many elements of the story and world may therefore still be in development. The candidate should have experience creating interactive, non-linear stories and dialogue. Rebel Wolves also requires a documented track record in writing and experience managing a team. Knowledge of Central and Eastern European history and folklore is also important. This latter requirement may be of particular interest to fans of the first instalment, as it suggests the developers still intend to make strong use of the region's characteristic cultural and historical motifs. However, the listing does not confirm any specific events or locations that will appear in the sequel. It is also unclear whether all the characters from the first instalment will return directly. At this stage, then, the most important fact is simply that work on the next chapter of the series has begun.
The sequel may again focus on a non-linear story
The requirements placed on the prospective writer give some clues about the direction the game may take. Rebel Wolves is looking for someone able to create non-linear stories, which suggests a continuation of one of the key elements of the first instalment. The listing also mentions knowledge of Central and Eastern European history and folklore. This could mean a return to the Carpathians and other areas familiar from the existing world of Dawnwalker. However, it is not ruled out that the next instalment will take players further into Europe. Rebel Wolves has previously suggested the planned saga will have a much greater scope than a single story. The studio spoke of a franchise spanning centuries, continents and cultures around the world. Such a statement suggests the possibility of using different historical periods and locations in subsequent instalments. It is unclear, though, whether all of these ideas will appear in the second instalment. So far, no platforms, release date or gameplay details have been revealed. Most likely, Rebel Wolves wants to continue developing the brand after the very positive reception of the first game.
The Blood of Dawnwalker 2 is already in development at Rebel Wolves, although production is still at an early stage. The studio has begun recruiting a lead writer responsible for the next chapter of the saga. Requirements for non-linear storytelling and familiarity with Central and Eastern European folklore suggest that some of the first game's core assumptions will be retained. However, we'll have to wait for more concrete information about the sequel.
