The Blood of Dawnwalker controller issues tackled in latest hotfix, and Rebel Wolves talks more about a sequel
Key Points:
- The Blood of Dawnwalker, a Witcher-like dark fantasy RPG, has received generally positive reviews but has faced criticism for technical issues such as performance problems, controller bugs, and lack of a New Game+ mode.
- Developer Rebel Wolves released hotfix 1.04 across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X to address stability, quest-blocking bugs, game-saving errors, and specific Steam controller issues, including frame-rate drops related to outdated GameInput software.
- The update also improved controller dead zones to fix sprinting issues and followed a recent patch that added official DualSense controller support on Steam and GOG, though some controller navigation bugs remain unresolved.
- Rebel Wolves is actively committed to ongoing improvements and has begun recruiting a lead writer for a planned sequel, aiming to continue the story of the vampire hero Coen through new historical adventures with save game carryover.
- Since its release last week, The Blood of Dawnwalker has sold over 1 million copies, attracting a strong player base overlapping with fans of The Witcher 3, and the studio promises further optimizations and enhancements in future updates.
