Rebel Wolves has announced The Blood of Dawnwalker Update 1.2, introducing New Game+ alongside an increased level cap, combat balance adjustments, and improvements to exploration.
The biggest addition is New Game+, which becomes available after players complete the game’s Epilogue. The mode allows players to return to Vale Sangora while carrying over their existing level, unlocked skills, and inventory.
The level cap has also been increased to 100 for New Game+ playthroughs, giving players more room to develop their characters. Enemies have been rebalanced and now scale uniformly across all regions, while equipment receives New Game+ versions with updated stats.
Beyond the new mode, The Blood of Dawnwalker Update 1.2 introduces several combat adjustments. Rebel Wolves has changed enemy health values and how frequently enemies use their abilities during encounters.
The developer has also improved terrain geometry to make movement smoother during combat and exploration.
The update includes changes to the game’s soundtrack as well. The in-game soundtrack bundled with the Eclipse Edition is being expanded with additional music from the game. Rebel Wolves confirmed that the expanded soundtrack will also be available on Spotify and other streaming platforms soon.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is an open-world action RPG developed by Rebel Wolves and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It launched on September 3, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Set in 14th-century Europe during a plague, the game follows Coen, a young man who becomes a half-human, half-vampire known as a Dawnwalker. He has 30 in-game days to rescue his family from a group of feudal vampires controlling the isolated region of Vale Sangora.
The game features a non-linear narrative shaped by player decisions, with different gameplay mechanics depending on the time of day. During daylight, Coen relies on directional sword combat and diplomacy. At night, he gains access to enhanced traversal and vampiric abilities, although using those powers requires managing his bloodthirst.
