During the Road to Launch event, developer Rebel Wolves unveiled detailed PC specifications for their debut game, the highly anticipated fantasy open world action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker.
The specs look fairly demanding on paper: the GeForce RTX 5090, the most powerful graphics card on the market, is required to play the game at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second while using the Ultra preset. However, the developers clarified that the following target resolution, frame rate, and presets were calculated without taking into account upscaler and frame generation, which will be supported (including NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR). As such, as long as you're willing to use the now-ubiquitous upscalers and frame generation tools, your GPU will punch way above the below targets.
| SPECS | MINIMUM | RECOMMENDED | RECOMMENDED | ULTRA | ULTRA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Target Performance | Native 1080p @ 30 FPS | Native 1080p @ 60 FPS | Native 1440p @ 60 FPS | Native 1440p @ 60 FPS | Native 2160p @ 60 FPS |
| Quality Preset | Low | High | High | Ultra | Ultra |
| CPU | Intel Core i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | Intel Core i5-13600 / AMD Ryzen 9 7900X | Intel Core i5-13600 / AMD Ryzen 9 7900X | Intel Core i5-13600K / AMD Ryzen 9 7950X | Intel Core i5-13600K / AMD Ryzen 9 7950X |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA RTX 3050 / GTX 1070 / AMD RX Vega-56 / Intel Arc A580 | NVIDIA RTX 5060 / AMD RX 6800-XT | NVIDIA RTX 4070-Ti / AMD RX 7800-XT | NVIDIA RTX 4080 / AMD RX 7900-XTX | NVIDIA RTX 5090 |
| VRAM | 6 GB | 12 GB | 12 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| Storage | 60 GB SSD | 60 GB SSD | 60 GB SSD | 60 GB SSD | 60 GB SSD |
| OS | Windows 10, DirectX 12 | Windows 10, DirectX 12 | Windows 10, DirectX 12 | Windows 10, DirectX 12 | Windows 10, DirectX 12 |
- All the above requirements were measured with no upscalers and no frame generation; however, a variety of upscalers, such as DLSS or FSR, will be supported and can be used to improve performance.
- The required amount of VRAM applies to all GPUs, not only to the ones listed in the table. GPUs of similar or higher processing power can be used instead, if they meet the VRAM requirement.
As a reminder, The Blood of Dawnwalker is powered by Epic's Unreal Engine 5, just like the upcoming The Witcher IV game. Rebel Wolves did not share whether there are any specific rendering enhancements, such as ray tracing, nor did they provide any info on the console versions. Those will likely come later to launch, which is now set for September 3, 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S and X.
