The Blood of Dawnwalker finally launched this week to "Mostly Positive" reviews on Steam as well as from critics and players, but as you should come to expect in the year 2026, there also seem to be some fairly substantial performance and optimization struggles bogging the whole thing down.
Rebel Wolves' debut title has been on my watchlist since its initial announcement, and it sounds like the wait has been worth it for most players, but I've been desperately trying to hold off on starting it until the inevitable array of bugs and performance problems have been patched out (GR's Austin Wood has a great writeup on that philosophy) – or my patience runs out, whichever comes first. The good news is Rebel Wolves is moving at a quick pace as it takes in feedback about the game's optimization, with the first post-launch hotfix having officially arrived on all platforms.
