Dawnwalker patch 1.2 adds New Game+ with a level cap of 100

The Blood of Dawnwalker’s next major update will give players a reason to return to Vale Sangora after finishing the story. According to GamesRadar’s November 13 report, Rebel Wolves has confirmed that patch 1.2 will introduce New Game+ next week.

The report attributes the announcement to a Reddit post from the developer. It gives a release window rather than a specific launch date, with New Game+ accompanied by changes to combat balance and world traversal.

A return trip with a higher ceiling

Players will need to have completed the Epilogue to access New Game+. The mode raises the level cap to 100, while enemies will be balanced and scaled to match. Items will also receive New Game+ variants with revised stats.

Those changes put progression at the centre of the return journey: the announcement describes adjustments to both the opposition players face and the equipment available in the mode. The supplied report does not detail individual item changes or explain exactly how enemy scaling will work.

Combat and terrain adjustments

Beyond New Game+, patch 1.2 will adjust enemy health pools and ability use. Rebel Wolves is also making terrain changes intended to improve movement around the world, according to GamesRadar.

The practical appeal is straightforward for players who have reached the ending: another run will offer a higher progression ceiling and revised item stats. How those systems affect the difficulty and feel of a repeat playthrough remains to be assessed once the update is available.
