The Blood of Dawnwalker is getting New Game+. Rebel Wolves announced today that Update 1.2 is planned for next week, and its headline feature lets anyone who has finished the story start again with their character intact and the level cap raised to 100.
It is the second big update in under a month. Update 1.1 went live on October 22 with a skill reset potion, a new Story mode and animal petting, and New Game+ follows less than a month later. The studio has not named the exact day yet.
New Game+ unlocks once you have completed the Epilogue
There is one requirement: you need to have completed the Epilogue. From there, in the studio’s words, “you can dive right back into Vale Sangora with New Game+.” This is what comes with you and what changes:
- Your level, skills and inventory carry over.
- The level cap is raised to 100.
- Enemies are balanced and scaled uniformly across all regions.
- Items get New Game+ versions with updated stats.
The uniform scaling matters most for a second run. Coen arrives already built, so areas that were early-game the first time would otherwise be a walkover. Scaling every region the same way keeps the whole map a threat, and the New Game+ item versions give the gear you carried over somewhere to go.
Enemy health pools and ability use are being rebalanced for everyone
Two changes in Update 1.2 apply whether or not you start New Game+. Rebel Wolves lists updated enemy health pools and changes to how often enemies use their abilities during combat. It also lists terrain geometry improvements, described as adjustments that allow smoother movement during combat and exploration.
The studio has only shared this summary so far. Exact numbers will have to wait for the full patch notes.
The Eclipse Edition soundtrack gets more songs and is heading to Spotify
The in-game soundtrack that comes with the Eclipse Edition is being extended with additional songs from the game. Rebel Wolves adds that the soundtrack is “coming to Spotify and other streaming services soon,” without a date.
The Blood of Dawnwalker launched in September on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and passed one million copies sold within its first week. We covered the run-up in our launch date story.
