  "account": "In September, the director of The Blood of Dawnwalker, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, announced that a major update was on the way for the vampire RPG. Developer Rebel Wolves has now revealed that patch 1.1 will be released next week. This substantial update will bring over 1,000 improvements and fixes to the game. The news was shared on the game's official X account, where the developers listed key highlights of the upcoming patch.\n\nThe patch will introduce an easier version of the game's Story mode, which will now be called Forgiving. The current Story mode will retain its name but will be labeled as Forgiving. Additionally, the patch includes the Draught of Mind Rebirth, a feature that allows players to reset all their unlocked abilities. Another addition to the game will be directional animal petting, enabling players to interact with and make friends with the dogs and cats in the game world of Vale Sangora.\n\nInterestingly, the most significant feature missing from the patch 1.1 is New Game Plus, a request that fans have been making since the release of the game. The game's director, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, has stated that the team is considering the feature but has not provided a timeline for its development. At present, Rebel Wolves has not specified when the patch will be released or if it will be available for all platforms simultaneously. However, the developers are confident that patch 1.1 will bring a smoother overall experience with its extensive improvements and fixes.",
