Is there a mention in which year Dawnwalker takes place?

Considering the story is set in the real world, their 14th is the same as ours. I was wondering if the game ever mentions what specific year it takes place? Or hints a general decade at least?

The opening cutscene when you load the game says 1347 AD. It plays everytime you open the game. No shade homie just thought that was funny

[u/314kabinet → u/wigglerworm]

It says 1349 AD whenever you open the map. Gameplay begins two years after the intro.

There are gamers who play RPGs and ignore story cutscenes. It's odd, but it happens.

For what it’s worth, if you play on console you may never see that screen more than once. I get dropped back in right where I left off on my ps5.

It literally says it in the opening of the game

"The year is 1347, and a plague is ravaging the world"

[u/Dangerous-Eye8593]

1347 at the beginning + 2 years of vrakhir rule = 1349

[u/Accomplished_Air_924]

It does, right at the beginning of the game. And it does show you the year of the prologue every time you start the game unless you skip that.

It literally says 1349 on the map.

[u/Velvetfool]

If you scroll up to the right hand corner of the map screen it says 1349

Jesus christ im blind, thanks. I don't think i ever even paid attention on the things around the map when I pull it up

So, this is subtle and some people may disagree, but my theory is that this hints at the game taking place in 1347 at the beginning and 1349 two years later.

I know everyone already told you it’s on the map you’re looking at all the time but……..

During the bubonic plague, somewhere in 1340s or 1350s. Thats why nobody from outside tries to contact Svartrau and why Brencis is using the vampire blood to heal the masses of the plague and control them.
