With Blood of Dawnwalker arriving on 3 September, Rebel Wolves has released a five-minute console footage trailer revealing exactly how the open-world dark fantasy RPG performs on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X. The headline: two performance modes, and neither one reaches 60fps.
Two Modes — 30fps Quality, 40fps Balanced
The performance specs are the same across PS5 Pro, PS5, and Xbox Series X:
- Quality Mode: Dynamic 4K, 30fps target
- Balanced Mode: Dynamic 4K, 40fps target — requires a 120Hz display
A 60fps mode is not available. Rebel Wolves has not addressed Xbox Series S performance, which was absent from the console footage entirely — details for that platform are still to be confirmed.
What the Footage Shows
The five-minute video walks through gameplay on each of the three console SKUs, showing the open-world environments, combat, and how the game looks in both Quality and Balanced modes. The visuals hold up well across both settings — the trade-off is purely in framerate ceiling, not resolution or visual fidelity. Both modes target Dynamic 4K.
Blood of Dawnwalker is set in 14th-century Europe, casting players as Coen, a man caught between his human life during daylight and a newly-acquired vampire nature after dark. The game’s core hook is time: every in-game day that passes ticks down a countdown tied to your family’s fate, which forces players to choose how they spend each night rather than simply exploring freely.
What Singapore PS5 Players Should Know Before 3 September
If you own a standard HDTV, Balanced Mode’s 40fps target is off the table — that mode requires a 120Hz panel. Quality Mode at 30fps will be what most players experience on a standard display. Performance-sensitive players who find 30fps uncomfortable on an action RPG may want to wait for post-launch coverage before buying.
PC players are unaffected by this — the game launches simultaneously on Steam and Microsoft Store on 3 September, where hardware-dependent framerates are unlocked. For Singapore gamers picking between versions, PC remains the higher-ceiling option for smoothness.
