What About Performance on Consoles?

After backlash over an announced 40 FPS cap on consoles, Rebel Wolves committed to a 60 FPS mode delivered via the day-one patch — with the exception of Xbox Series S, which stays without the 60 FPS mode.

Who Made It, and How Did Reviews Land?

Developer: Rebel Wolves — founded February 2022 by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz (director of The Witcher 3) after leaving CD Projekt Red; roughly 160 people by April 2026.
Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment.
Engine: Unreal Engine 5.
Review aggregate (pre-launch): Metacritic 83 (PS5) / 84 (PC) / 86 (Xbox Series X|S); OpenCritic had 92% of critics recommending.

It is the opening chapter of a planned Dawnwalker saga — Rebel Wolves has confirmed more games in the same universe, set in different eras, each self-contained without cliffhangers. A June 2026 trailer even showed the protagonist in a modern-day setting, teasing where the saga leads.

Is It Single-Player Only?

Yes — a strictly single-player, third-person action RPG with a branching narrative-sandbox structure, four difficulty levels, and an estimated 50–70 hours. The premise and systems are covered in the beginner guide; the world itself in the Vale Sangora; and the antagonist in who Brencis is.
