Rebel Wolves plans to release Update 1.2 for The Blood of Dawnwalker next week, led by the addition of New Game+ alongside combat and exploration changes.

New Game+ unlocks after the epilogue and lets players carry over their level, skills and inventory, while raising the level cap to 100 and scaling enemies across regions.

Many items will also have New Game+ versions with updated stats and gameplay options.

The update will rebalance enemy health and ability use, and improve terrain geometry to make movement smoother in combat and exploration.

The mode offers a reason to revisit the campaign’s time-management choices, which can significantly change each playthrough.

That may also appeal to completionists, who have found the time limit restrictive when trying to see everything before the final confrontation.

Set in the fictional kingdom of Vale Sangora amid the Black Death and conflict, the open-world action RPG follows Coen, a Dawnwalker who has 30 days and nights to rescue his family from feudal vampires; his abilities and play style change between day and night.

The update follows Update 1.1, released the previous month, which added skill respecs, story difficulty options and combat and traversal improvements, along with more than 1,100 fixes and improvements.

Rebel Wolves is also expanding the Eclipse Edition soundtrack, with the extended music set to reach Spotify and other streaming platforms.

The announcement comes after The Blood of Dawnwalker finished runner-up for PC Game of the Year and Best Storytelling at the Golden Joystick Awards, without taking home an award.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is available on PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S.
