Be prepared for vampiric action with these The Blood of Dawnwalker release times
After what feels like an age of waiting to sink our teeth into Rebel Wolves’ vampire RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker is finally launching this September.
However, exactly when you can start playing gets a bit confusing. PC and console versions have slightly different release schedules, meaning if you don’t know the time of your specific launch could leave you sitting there feeling a bit lost.
Thankfully for you, we’ve laid out the full global timings, so you can work out exactly when your blood-sucking escapades can begin.
What time does The Blood of Dawnwalker release?
The Blood of Dawnwalker releases globally on PC at 12 AM CEST on September 3, which means those of you further west will actually be able to jump in on September 2. You’re the lucky ones.
Here are some of the key PC release times around the globe:

As previously mentioned, console players have a slightly different wait.

That means Los Angeles gets access at 9 PM PDT on September 2, for example, while New York unlocks at midnight EDT.
Can you preload The Blood of Dawnwalker?
While the above is a bit all over the place, preloading is much more straightforward.
Preloading is available on both Steam and consoles 48 hours before release, so as long as you have the release time in hand, you know exactly when you need to clear some storage out.
