Dominating the landscape, the majestic cathedral and Graifberg Castle crown the jagged cliffs of Swartrow, a breathtaking sight in this remote region. Their presence, miles from any other settlement, immediately begs the question: why here?
The answer lies in the abundance of silver veins within the surrounding mountains. This precious metal, its gleam a beacon in the dark, draws settlers to Swartrow like moths to a flame. The hillsides are scarred with mine entrances, the constant rhythmic clang of pickaxes a relentless soundtrack to life in the valley.
Graifberg Castle, prominently featured in the opening moments of the January 2025 trailer, appears to hold a significant role in the game's narrative. The update confirms that the city's existence hinges on the lucrative silver mining industry. Intriguingly, folklore suggests silver offers protection against vampires, making it both a vital resource and a potent weapon in this world of shadows.
While Rebel Wolves hasn't yet announced a release date for The Blood of Dawnwalker, the game is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
