Final PC System Requirements Reveal
Rebel Wolves has published the definitive PC hardware configurations for its upcoming open-world action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker. All four performance tiers assume the use of an upscaling technology—NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, or Intel XeSS—set to the “balanced” preset.
- Minimum (1080p / 30 fps, Low): Intel Core i5-11400F or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580.
- Medium (1080p / 60 fps, Medium): Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super, GTX 1070 Ti, AMD Radeon RX 5700, or Intel Arc A750.
- High (1440p / 60 fps, High): Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX 4060, AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, or Intel Arc B580.
- Ultra (4K / 60 fps, Ultra): Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 9070.
All configurations also require 60 GB SSD, Windows 10 or later, and DirectX 12 support.
Background & Context
The title is being developed by former The Witcher 3 staff, including studio CEO and game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, and runs on Unreal Engine 5. Early specifications listed an RTX 5090 as the minimum GPU for 4K Ultra performance. The final sheet shows roughly a 50 % reduction in GPU demand across all tiers, a change attributed to mandatory upscaling.
Official Statements & Responses
Rebel Wolves emphasizes that the lowered requirements stem from integrating upscaling across every performance profile. The studio notes that the game’s design—centered on a 30-day in-game timer and permanent-death mechanics—demands meaningful player choices, and the hardware targets aim to let a broader audience experience those stakes without compromising frame-rate stability.
