The Blood of Dawnwalker's console modes top out at 40fps, with no 60fps option at launch

The upcoming console game The Blood of Dawnwalker, developed by Rebel Wolves and published by Bandai Namco, will not feature a 60fps mode at launch for PS5 or Xbox Series X/S. Instead, the game will offer two graphics modes on both consoles - a Quality Mode aiming for 30fps at dynamic 4K, and a Balanced Mode targeting 40fps at dynamic 4K.

The PS5 Pro is expected to maintain these same frame rates and resolution, but with enhanced visual quality. Some fans have expressed disappointment over the lack of a 60fps option, even on higher-end hardware, while others feel a lower-resolution 60fps mode would have been more preferable. Despite the controversy, the game has received positive feedback from early playthroughs, with praise for its depth in combat and the effectiveness of its sandbox freedom and time-limited elements. The Blood of Dawnwalker is set to release on September 3rd.
