Make sure to keep your PS5 save data for The Blood of Dawnwalker on your console's SSD (or uploaded to the PS Plus cloud); you'll want to transfer it to future instalments in the series.
Emulating what Mass Effect did with its own trilogy of games, it has been confirmed that a save data transfer option for the series Rebel Wolves is creating will be in place. Bandai Namco shared the exciting news after game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz spoke of the feature in an interview with Eurogamer.
Tomaszkiewicz talked up moving saves between games and the decisions a player has made. This had Bandai Namco, the publisher of the RPG, clarify simply: "There will be an option to carry the save from the first game."

Rebel Wolves has often talked up how it's creating a new series of titles, not just a single experience in The Blood of Dawnwalker — it's even gone so far as to publish a trailer teasing different time periods the franchise might be set in.
The developer teased last month: "Coen’s story will continue – spanning centuries and carrying him to various corners of the world, far beyond Vale Sangora. New adventures, new powers, new dilemmas. And dark, ancient secrets waiting to be uncovered."
Now we know it shall be worth keeping your PS5 save data around so the choices you make can carry over to the next entry; The Blood of Dawnwalker releases on 3rd September 2026, so it won't be too long until you're making the first set of them.
From the comments in Eurogamer's interview, it already sounds like a time period for the next game has been decided at an executive level, and wherever the series goes, it'll always star Coen as the protagonist. Does this excite you? Let us know in the comments below.

Something something "Cart," something something "Horse."
That said, if they can pull it off, that sounds great.
Witcher 1 had this feature - you get a bonus item and some money if you use it in W2. Same if you transfer from W2 + W3, plus a couple of characters and extra quests. But only if you picked the right branch)
I leave it to readers’ imagination how it will be implemented here…
Hopefully the game sells well enough and it's good so we can get sequels in the future.
Awesome. Especially if they are thinking about this from the ground up.
Nice. This is awesome. I’ve felt for a while that this is likely to be a rare occurrence nowadays with the long development cycles and high risk. Glad to see that they have confidence and a roadmap to do this, a PS3 era mechanic.
Such a grand future where you can even order blood bags to be delivered. What next?
Very ambitious of them, but also very presumptuous. For every Mass Effect, there's an Advent Rising.
That's cool. Let's hope the game is good.
Now all you've got to do is create an unexpectedly excellent start to a series, perform the impossible by making an even better sequel, drop the ball but still make a solid end to the trilogy, then finally completely f**k up all the good will you've built up over the years until you're forced into complete radio silence and we're all wondering where the next one is 🙂
I have really high hopes for this game and the studio. I want them to succeed so badly. I don't preorder but I've been close on this one just because I want to support their efforts. Story heavy RPG's will forever be my favorite genre.
@IronCrow86 sounds like dragon age besides the sequel part.
@dwayne91 So the Mass Effect connection; just completely went over your head, despite being the topic of reference?? Not being mean, just making an observation 🙂
@IronCrow86 yea it hit me after posting but I actually never played the mass effect trilogy.
I will wait to see if it is a busted launch, but so far it looks great.
@dwayne91 Aah gotcha...Well if you enjoy sci fi RPGs, you cant go far wrong 🙂....just pay mind to my original comment 😐😄
No character creator, no buy
@scoobdoo bit of a weird stance considering you're playing as a set character, but okay.
I always feel a bit uncomfortable when studios or publishers are publicly announcing these grand plans for the future of a franchise before the first game is even out. I guess they're really confident in their product, which is good, and it makes sense to plan ahead internally. But most importantly, they should deliver a first game that truly stands on its own, because if it doesn't pan out, we don't want to be left with something that lacks a satisfying conclusion.
Nothing new for the people at Rebel Wolves, since many of them worked at CD PR.
In Witcher 3 for example you could use the saves from the Witcher 2 to keep all the choices you've previously made.
@dwayne91 Mass Effect Legendary edition is great! Still the best implemented squad based action RPG, imo. I've played them all at least three times through and still think about another one on occasion.
@D6rkLordS6t6n I bought the legendary edition with the intent of playing them for the first time. I don't remember what else was launching around that time but I ended up not getting around to playing it. I need to get back around to it.
Sounds like they are confident in the game to me.
@dwayne91 Well, you'll get to it in your own time. For example, I just finished Wasteland 3 this week and thought to myself, "Why didn't I play that sooner. It was amazing!" You'll enjoy it in your own time. When you do, I hope you like it.
