“We miss when genre wasn’t a thing,” say The Blood of Dawnwalker devs making their dream RPG: “We want to have our own identity”

GamesRadar+ · 2 months ago

The developers behind The Blood of Dawnwalker, a vampire-themed action RPG, have spoken about their desire to build a game with a distinct identity rather than one that conforms neatly to an established genre. In interviews they expressed nostalgia for an era when games were not so rigidly categorised, arguing that this freedom allows them to pursue their creative vision without being boxed in by player expectations tied to particular labels.

The comments frame the studio's ambition to craft what they describe as their "dream RPG", blending influences and mechanics in ways that resist easy classification. The team, which includes veterans associated with prior high-profile RPG projects, positions The Blood of Dawnwalker as a title defined by its own character and tone rather than by adherence to genre conventions.

  • Blood of Dawnwalker devs want a game with its own identity.
  • They miss when games weren't rigidly split by genre.
  • The vampire RPG is billed as their dream project.
