Rebel Wolves have confirmed The Blood of Dawnwalker will launch with a performance mode targeting 60 FPS on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X, reversing course just days after console performance details left some fans disappointed.

Rebel Wolves have confirmed that their upcoming Witcher-like action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker will ship with a 60 FPS performance mode on console. The 60 FPS update is included in the day-one launch patch.

Rebel Wolves say that earlier breakdown reflected what they could confidently deliver at launch at the time, but the studio have now managed to add a 60 FPS target on top of it.
