Rebel Wolves has announced that its upcoming action role-playing adventure, The Blood of Dawnwalker, will feature a 60 frames per second performance mode on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X at launch. This comes after initial console gameplay footage revealed a target of 40 FPS, which generated player frustration.
In a statement posted on social media, the developers explained that the Performance Mode was already in development but had not yet completed testing. "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," the studio stated. The successful completion of these tests has given Rebel Wolves the confidence to confirm the day-one patch.
Following the patch, the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of The Blood of Dawnwalker will offer three graphical options: Performance Mode targeting 60 FPS, Balanced Mode at 40 FPS, and Quality Mode at 30 FPS. The PS5 Pro will receive additional unspecified visual enhancements. The Xbox Series S will run at a locked 30 FPS.
Rebel Wolves was founded by former CD Projekt Red developers who contributed to titles such as The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077. The studio's pedigree has generated significant anticipation for its new project, which is set to release on September 3.
