Rebel Wolves’ first major update for The Blood of Dawnwalker is available next week, and it’s fairly massive, promising over 1,100 improvements and fixes. Of course, there are other headlining features, including Draught of Mind Rebirth for respeccing your Swordmastery, Witchcraft and Vampirism skills.

A new difficulty, Forgiving, has been introduced. This is the new name for Story mode, now fitting between the former and Fair, since it offers a combat assist setting that lets you focus on the narrative. You can also look forward to improvements to the camera, animations, targeting, and traversal when using Shadowstep and Planeshift.

Players can also expect dedicated FrameGen settings to improve performance. Meanwhile, directional animal petting has been added for those who want an immersive petting experience. And perhaps best of all, subtitles will be added for all dialogue, and the font size is finally increasing.

Stay tuned for more details when Update 1.1 lands next week for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. In the meantime, read our review of The Blood of Dawnwalker here. We scored it 9 out of 10, praising the storytelling, presentation and sheer sense of freedom. It sold a million copies in the first 24 hours, and there’s more in store, including New Game+.
