Blood of Dawnwalker dev says you can beat the final boss right after the prologue, but it “will be a feat worthy of legends”
The developers of The Blood of Dawnwalker say players may be able to confront and defeat the game’s final boss shortly after completing its prologue. The option is intended to support the role-playing game’s freedom of approach, while making an immediate victory an exceptionally difficult challenge.
According to the developer, attempting the encounter so early would be “a feat worthy of legends”, suggesting players would face the boss with limited abilities, equipment and preparation. The game is being developed by Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by former CD Projekt staff, and is designed around a time-sensitive open-world structure.
In short
- The final boss can reportedly be challenged soon after the prologue.
- Winning that early is expected to be extraordinarily difficult.
- The feature highlights the game’s player freedom.
Explained simply
The Blood of Dawnwalker is a role-playing game being made by Rebel Wolves, a studio founded by former staff from Polish developer CD Projekt. Role-playing games let players shape a character and make choices that can affect how the story unfolds.
The game is designed around an open world and a limited amount of in-game time, so players’ choices about where to go and what to do may matter. Its developers say players can try to take on the final boss early, though doing so would mean facing a major challenge with little time to build up their character or gather equipment.
