The Blood of Dawnwalker Gets Easier Difficulty and Combat Overhaul in Next Patch

Story Mode Reworked for Maximum Accessibility

Developer adjustments arriving in early October will introduce a difficulty setting more forgiving than the current “Story” mode, according to Eurogamer. Rather than replacing existing options, this new configuration will inherit the “Story” label, while the current Story mode will be renamed. Director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz noted that the studio moved forward with the change because “many people are asking for an even easier difficulty,” as cited by Push Square and Terra.com.br.

Combat Targeting and Escape Mechanics Overhauled

Beyond accessibility tweaks, the upcoming patch addresses widespread player complaints regarding combat mechanics. According to Eurogamer and Push Square, the targeting system is undergoing reformulation to eliminate unintended target shifts. Currently, when protagonist Coen uses an intentional stun ability on an opponent, the game automatically switches focus to a different enemy. The October update will grant players more control over targeting decisions, alongside technical performance improvements for PC players noted by Terra.com.br.

Escaping active skirmishes will also become easier. Right now, fleeing from battle is nearly impossible because hostile enemies relentlessly track players across the map, according to reports from Eurogamer and Terra.com.br.
