Rebel Wolves doesn't intend to wait long to expand its new franchise. The studio has begun work on the next installment in The Blood of Dawnwalker series, although the project is still in its early stages. This is confirmed by a posting from Jakub Szamałek, Rebel Wolves' narrative director, who is looking for a lead writer to create the next chapter of the saga. The first entry was a major success, selling over one million copies in just a few days after release. The job listing also reveals some details about the direction the next game's story may take.
Rebel Wolves is already working on the next installment
News of a sequel appeared in a post by Jakub Szamałek on LinkedIn. Rebel Wolves' narrative director said they are looking for a Lead Writer to join the team responsible for the narrative of the next chapter of the Dawnwalker saga. That means The Blood of Dawnwalker 2 is already in the studio's plans, though a quick release is unlikely. The mere fact they are searching for a lead writer indicates the project is still at a relatively early stage of development. Many elements of the story and world may therefore still be taking shape. The candidate should have experience creating interactive, nonlinear narratives and dialogue. Rebel Wolves also requires a proven 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 especially interesting to fans of the first game. It suggests the developers still intend to heavily draw on the region's distinctive cultural and historical motifs. However, the job posting does not confirm specific events or locations that will appear in the sequel. It is also unclear whether all the characters from the first game will return directly. At this stage, the most important information is simply that work has begun on the next chapter of the series.
The sequel may again rely on a nonlinear narrative
The requirements for the prospective writer give some clues about the direction the game might take. Rebel Wolves is looking for someone capable of creating nonlinear narratives, which suggests a continuation of one of the key elements of the first game. The listing also mentions familiarity with the history and folklore of Central and Eastern Europe. That could mean a return to the Carpathians and other areas known from Dawnwalker’s world. It's not ruled out, however, that the next installment will take players further into Europe. Rebel Wolves has previously hinted that the planned saga will have much greater scope than a single story. The studio talked about a franchise spanning centuries, continents and cultures around the world. That statement suggests the possibility of using different historical periods and locations in future installments. It’s unclear, though, whether all those ideas will appear in the second game. So far, platforms, a release date and gameplay details have not yet been disclosed. Most likely, Rebel Wolves wants to continue growing the franchise after the strong reception of the first game.
The Blood of Dawnwalker 2 is already being prepared by Rebel Wolves, although production is still in an early stage. The studio has begun recruiting a lead writer responsible for the next chapter of the saga. Requirements for nonlinear storytelling and knowledge of 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.
