## Summary

Blood of Dawnwalker missed out on wins at this year’s Golden Joysticks, but Rebel Wolves’ chief publishing officer and co-owner Tomasz Tinc described the nominations as a remarkable experience. His response highlights the recognition received by the studio, which is preparing its debut game, and the goodwill between developers at a difficult time for the industry.

The historical action RPG earned four nominations: second place for Best Storytelling, behind Dispatch; second for PC Game of the Year, behind Crimson Desert; and fifth in Ultimate Game of the Year, won by Resident Evil Requiem. The game follows a character trying to save his family from vampires in the 14th-century Carpathian Mountains, and represents a major creative undertaking for the new studio, whose founders previously worked on The Witcher 3.
