The Blood of Dawnwalker launches with 60FPS


Get ready to load up, because the developers of The Blood of Dawnwalker are rolling out some significant performance upgrades, proving that when the community speaks, the studio listens.

Just a few days after revealing the updated system requirements for the game, the team at Rebel Wolves has announced a major adjustment for the launch-day console experience. While the game was initially slated to launch without a dedicated true ‘Performance’ mode option on PS5 and Xbox Series X, a shift occurred once the community voiced their desires.

The original plan was to offer console players two quality modes: one targeting 30FPS with the absolute best visual settings, and another targeting 40FPS using slightly more aggressive dynamic resolution. However, fans quickly made it clear that they were waiting for a smoother experience, pushing for a true 60FPS option. In response, Rebel Wolves swiftly changed course.

The studio confirmed that they were already planning a 60FPS performance mode for the game, but they weren’t confident they could fully test and implement it before the September launch. Due to the powerful demand from players, the team accelerated its testing schedule, ensuring that 60FPS will now be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X after installing the game’s day-one patch.

This move means that console players can now enjoy a significantly smoother experience, prioritizing fluidity without sacrificing the stunning visuals the game is known for.

For those diving into the action on PC, the system requirements remain detailed, offering players a range of choices depending on their hardware and desired fidelity. Whether you aim for high frame rates or breathtaking resolution, the game offers flexibility:

The game supports various presets, including 1080p at 30 fps for lower-end systems, and 1080p at 60 fps for more capable rigs. Higher settings allow for 1440p at 60 fps, and for the most demanding setups, players can aim for 2160p at 60 fps.

The specific requirements for each level of performance are tailored to ensure a playable experience:

For the lowest setting, 1080p at 30 fps, the minimum requirements involve components like the Intel Core i5 11400F or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB of RAM, and a GPU such as the Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580.

To achieve a more fluid 60 FPS experience at 1080p, the recommended components include CPUs like the Intel Core i7 11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, 16GB of RAM, and GPUs such as the Nvidia RTX 2060 Super or AMD RX 5700.

For those pushing the boundaries toward 1440p at 60 fps, the system demands scale up, featuring CPUs like the Intel Core i7 11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, 16GB of RAM, and GPUs like the Nvidia RTX 4060 or AMD RX 7600 XT.

The ultimate visual experience, aiming for 2160p at 60 fps, requires top-tier hardware, including the Intel Core i7‑12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 16GB of RAM, and powerful GPUs like the Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti or AMD RX 9070.

The Blood of Dawnwalker will officially launch on September 2nd for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, bringing this celebrated world to players everywhere with enhanced performance options ready to go.
