Rebel Wolves is preparing the first big update for The Blood of Dawnwalker. Update 1.1 is planned for next week, the game’s official X account said on October 16, 2026, in a post reported by Insider Gaming. Players had been told in September that a large October update was on the way.
New options for building and difficulty
The most requested change is a respec. A new potion, Draught of Mind Rebirth, lets players unlearn their abilities and choose a different set, so a build is no longer a permanent decision.
Difficulty also changes. The current Story setting is renamed Forgiving, and a new, easier Story difficulty adds combat assist for players who mainly want to follow the plot.
The full list
- Directional petting of animals, using the same directional system as combat
- Larger font sizes and subtitles for all dialogue lines
- New dedicated frame generation settings
- Adjusted animations and combat camera movement
- Better targeting, locking on and disengaging in combat
- More responsive Shadowstep and Planeshift when attaching to surfaces
- No more censorship of blood and gore in the Japanese version
On top of that list, Rebel Wolves promises more than 1,100 other improvements and fixes.
What is still unknown
The announcement does not give an exact day for the update, and Insider Gaming’s report does not say whether it reaches every platform at the same time.
