The Blood of Dawnwalker, the open-world action-RPG from Rebel Wolves (a studio built by former Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 developers), releases September 3, 2026. It’s a demanding game with several distinct performance tiers, so here’s exactly what you’ll need at each one.
Minimum Requirements (1080p / 30 FPS, Low Settings)
- Processor: Intel Core i5-11400F or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580
- Storage: 60 GB (SSD required)
- OS/API: Windows 10 or later, DirectX 12
Recommended Requirements (1080p / 60 FPS, Medium Settings)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super / GTX 1070 Ti, AMD RX 5700, or Intel Arc A750
Higher Tiers: 1440p and 4K
For 1440p/60fps on High settings with upscaling, Rebel Wolves lists an Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with an RTX 4060, RX 7600 XT, or Intel Arc B580. Pushing to 4K/60fps on Ultra with DLSS, FSR, or XeSS active steps up to an Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with an RTX 4070 Ti or RX 9070 — and yes, upscaling is factored into the official numbers at every tier above minimum, not just an optional extra.
What This Means in Practice
The 60GB SSD requirement is non-negotiable — there’s no listed HDD-only configuration, which tracks for an open-world RPG built by a Witcher-pedigree team. The gap between minimum and recommended is mostly about frame rate rather than the game being unplayable below it: expect a real 30fps floor on older cards like the GTX 1060, and treat the RTX 2060 Super tier as the realistic “comfortable” baseline rather than the bare minimum.
Release Details
The Blood of Dawnwalker releases September 3, 2026 for PC. Rebel Wolves has already trimmed these requirements down once before launch after community feedback on the earlier, heavier spec list.
