The Blood of Dawnwalker, the upcoming debut project from former CDPR developers, has a “limited time” quest system that reminds me a lot of the Persona and Metaphor games.Dawnwalker ticks a lot of boxes for me. It’s a big open-world RPG from a team of genre veterans under the Rebel Wolves banner, it has legitimately scary looking vampires, and it seemingly borrows from some of my favorite JRPGs ever. I was instantly intrigued by its time-limited main story when I heard about it during the game’s reveal stream, but I was working with pretty limited information. I still am, but…

Elden Ring Nightreign is going to be completely different to FromSoftware’s RPG opus. The core gameplay is the same, but the team’s focus has shifted towards a more online, replayable experience that promises to challenge us in entirely new ways. You can play solo, but co-op is going to be a must if you want to succeed, and strangely enough you can only do this with three players – no more, no less. That might change at some point, however, as FromSoftware has confirmed that it’s “considering” a two-player version of Nightreign – but not immediately. Now that we know the…
