Promising PS5 RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker Pulls a Mass Effect with Save Data Transfers to Future Games
Bandai Namco has confirmed that upcoming PS5 RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker will let players carry save data over into future instalments, following a similar approach to the Mass Effect trilogy. The feature was revealed after game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz discussed transferring saves and player choices in an interview with Eurogamer, prompting Bandai Namco to confirm players will be able to "carry the save from the first game" into its sequels. It underscores developer Rebel Wolves' ambition to build The Blood of Dawnwalker into an ongoing series rather than a standalone title.
Rebel Wolves has previously teased that the story of protagonist Coen will continue across centuries and locations beyond the game's setting of Vale Sangora, with future entries bringing new powers and dilemmas. The Blood of Dawnwalker is set to release on PS5 on 3rd September 2026, and comments from the Eurogamer interview suggest a time period for the next game may already have been decided internally, though further details remain unconfirmed.
