Rebel Wolves bekreftet førstedagsoppdatering for The Blood of Dawnwalker

Next week sees the release of The Blood of Dawnwalker, the debut project from Rebel Wolves, a studio comprising former developers of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. As the release date approaches, the studio is sharing new official details about the game, and the latest announcement focuses on the technical specifications of The Blood of Dawnwalker on consoles.

On its social media channels, Rebel Wolves confirmed The Blood of Dawnwalker will receive a day-one patch on the release date (September 3), which will add support for 60 FPS in Performance Mode on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X. The announcement followed clear complaints from fans; previously, Rebel Wolves had published gameplay footage of The Blood of Dawnwalker on consoles, and it became apparent that the game did not run at 60 FPS on the PlayStation 5 Pro in Balanced Mode or Quality Mode. The developers listened to players’ feedback almost immediately, which is great to see, and so 60 FPS support in Performance Mode will be available on the day the game launches, as you can check out below:

The Blood of Dawnwalker will receive a Performance Mode targeting 60 FPS on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X on Day 1 through the launch patch.

On Friday, we answered your questions about console performance with what we knew we could confidently deliver at launch.

Performance Mode was already in the works, but it was still being tested. We simply weren’t ready to promise it yet.

We heard your feedback. It was clear how much this mattered to many of you, so we focused on finishing the next round of tests. Those results gave us the confidence we needed to confirm Performance Mode for Day 1.

This isn’t the first time Rebel Wolves have listened to fans’ feedback when they’ve been unhappy with something. Last week, the studio also revealed the final system requirements for The Blood of Dawnwalker, and these differ slightly from the original version, which players felt were too high.

In a recent interview, Rebel Wolves reps Konrad Tomaszkiewicz and Adam Payet stated that they are not worried about the possibility of The Blood of Dawnwalker flopping in sales —their primary aim is to create a high-quality product for players. Nevertheless, the developers stand every chance of delivering a successful project— according to early reviews by journalists, The Blood of Dawnwalker impresses with its time-limited mechanic, which allows players to complete only certain quests, as well as its open world and numerous additional features.

The Blood of Dawnwalker releases on September 3 for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
