Rebel Wolves is launching Update 1.1 for its vampire role-playing game The Blood of Dawnwalker next week, introducing over 1,100 adjustments, fixes, and new features. The patch adds a dedicated Story mode featuring extra combat assists, renames the previous Story difficulty to Forgiving, and brings directional petting for in-game cats and dogs based on the title's directional combat mechanics.

Players will also gain the ability to reset their character builds using an item called the Draught of Mind Rebirth, which refunds skill points allocated across Swordmastery, Witchcraft, and Vampirism trees. Additional technical and quality-of-life updates include camera adjustments, improved targeting, refined traversal for the Shadowstep and Planeshift abilities, dedicated FrameGen settings, and uncensored gore for the Japanese Steam release.

The massive update follows a strong debut for the dark fantasy title, which sold one million copies in its first three days on sale. Rebel Wolves has already begun development on a sequel, though the studio previously noted that the original game's contentious time mechanic might not return in the follow-up. [1]
Update 1.1 for The Blood of Dawnwalker will add a new Story mode with additional combat assist, a potion that lets you forget your abilities and master new ones, and the ability to pet dogs and cats.
