The full Blood of Dawnwalker game will be released on disc, Bandai Namco and Rebel Wolves confirm

Promising new medieval vampire role-playing game The Blood of Dawnwalker will be, hallelujah, released on a good old fashioned disc.

A bald-headed, ferocious looking soldier, who looks like they've lost all vitality and life from their visage. Probably because they have - it's the lead vampire from The Blood of Dawnwalker. Brencis. Behind him, a sun is eclipsed.

Promising new medieval vampire role-playing game The Blood of Dawnwalker will be, hallelujah, released on a good old fashioned disc.

The short version

  • The game's director, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, told me this in an interview recently, smiling and stating simply that: "Yes, it is coming to the disc." But not all game-discs are made equally.
  • By that I mean that some game discs behave more as glorified passcodes for the game, as a way of proving ownership before you're made to download the full game from the store of whichever console you're playing on.
  • These discs would serve little worth years from now if such a game was made unavailable to download.

What happened

The Blood of Dawnwalker disc, however, will contain the full game. And it's a decision of Sony's that's clearly hit a nerve, as people continue to decry it even in comments for games like Marvel's Wolverine that will come on a disc .

Why it matters

The Blood of Dawnwalker is due 3rd September, and I played four hours of it recently and was enormously encouraged by it.
