Blood of Dawnwalker to receive 60 FPS performance mode on launch day

On August 25, 2026, Rebel Wolves confirmed that Blood of Dawnwalker will receive a 60 FPS Performance Mode patch on launch day for PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X. The statement followed the release of console gameplay footage from the developer.

Rebel Wolves published a console performance video showing how the game runs on PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X across three different performance and graphics settings. Viewers of that showcase noted the absence of a 60 FPS option for consoles, sparking significant backlash from fans and gamers; many players began canceling pre-orders. An earlier performance showcase had suggested the game might only run at 40 FPS on consoles, which generated additional concern among players.

Developers responded quickly to the criticism and have now officially confirmed a performance mode that targets 60 FPS on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X. This 60 FPS performance patch will drop on day one on consoles. Rebel Wolves framed the update as a direct reaction to community feedback following the initial footage.

According to the developer, Performance Mode is intended to deliver faster and smoother combat action for players. The game’s battle system is very serious, features exploration, and has supernatural abilities, which means that for many console gamers, a higher frame rate will be beneficial.

Blood of Dawnwalker is developed by Rebel Wolves and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The title will be released on September 3, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
