   Rebel Wolves adds 60 FPS mode to The Blood of Dawnwalker for console launch

   Rebel Wolves will release a launch patch for The Blood of Dawnwalker adding a 60 FPS performance mode for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. This update follows fan backlash regarding the game's initial performance limitations. The developer confirmed the day-one upgrade to address player feedback, ensuring the title can run at higher frame rates on current-generation hardware from the start of its release.
