The vampire genre has produced some of the most popular movies and TV shows of all time, even in the last few years. When it comes to TV shows, few projects have developed the same audiences as Interview with the Vampire, which has been retitled The Vampire Lestat heading into its new season, which is dropping at the end of June. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Anne Rice, and it’s not the first time that her works have been adapted into live-action. For the only time in their lengthy and distinguished careers, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise starred in the same movie all the way back in 1994 with Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles. There’s also Marvel‘s Blade movie that’s been plagued with delays and creative turnover, and Sinners, which dominated the Oscars earlier this year.

Video games are getting more and more popular by the year, and the ultimate crossover between the video game medium and the vampire genre is officially coming this year. Blood of the Dawnwalker is a new open-world action RPG being developed by Rebel Wolves, and just a few weeks ago, the studio released the first story trailer for the game, confirming that it will launch around the world on September 3. The game is set in 14th century Europe, and fans will take on the role of Coen, who operates as a human under the sun and a vampire by cover of night. Blood of the Dawnwalker players will have 30 days in-game to complete the main story, with certain quests only being available during the day or at night. The developers previously worked on The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.

‘Blood of the Dawnwalker’ Has Serious Competition in September

Coming less than two weeks after Blood of the Dawnwalker is Marvel’s Wolverine, which is launching around the world on September 16. The game is being developed by Insomniac, the same studio who delivered Spider-Man, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Spider-Man 2, so it’s safe to say Wolverine is one of the most anticipated games of the year. Both games have a couple of months to get as many hours played as possible before the launch of GTA 6 on November 19. GTA 6’s budget is reportedly over $1 billion, making it one of the single most expensive pieces of media in history.
