The Blood of Dawnwalker System Requirements, From Minimum to 4K Ultra

Rebel Wolves has settled on the final PC specs for The Blood of Dawnwalker, the Unreal Engine 5 dark fantasy RPG that puts you in the boots of Coen, a half-human, half-vampire trying to save his family across 30 in-game days and nights. The good news for anyone on aging hardware is that the bar dropped considerably from where it started, and the developer now lists four separate performance targets instead of one blunt minimum-and-recommended split.

Quick answer: A GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 580 with 6GB of VRAM, a Core i5-11400F or Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB of RAM, and 60GB of free SSD space runs the game at 1080p/30fps on Low with upscaling enabled. For 1440p/60fps on High, you need an RTX 4060, RX 7600 XT, or Intel Arc B580.

The Blood of Dawnwalker PC specs for every performance target

Each tier below assumes an upscaler is switched on, so treat the resolutions as output targets rather than native render resolutions. Every row shares the same 16GB of RAM and 60GB SSD requirement.

The entry point is the headline here. A GTX 1060 is a decade-old card, and the RX 580 is not far behind it, which puts a game this visually dense within reach of machines that would normally be shut out of a 2026 release. The trade-off is the usual one — 30fps at 1080p on the lowest preset, with an upscaler carrying part of the load.

Intel’s Arc cards show up in two of the four tiers, with the A750 covering 1080p/60 and the B580 listed alongside the RTX 4060 and RX 7600 XT for 1440p. That is still unusual for a big-budget release, and it means an Arc build is a legitimate option here rather than a footnote.

Requirements that apply to every tier: 16GB RAM, 60GB SSD, DirectX 12

Four things do not change no matter which preset you aim for. An SSD is mandatory across the board, and 8GB of system memory is not an option at any setting.

Note: the 60GB install figure is smaller than a lot of open-world releases, but the SSD requirement is not a suggestion. A mechanical drive will hurt streaming in a game built around dense city exploration and rooftop traversal.

Upscaling is now baked into the targets

This is the single most important detail for interpreting the numbers. The final figures assume DLSS, FSR, or XeSS is active. The earlier spec sheet Rebel Wolves published in April measured everything at native resolution with no upscaling and no frame generation, which is why those older numbers looked so much heavier.

Practically, that means you should not expect the listed GPU to hit the listed framerate with upscaling turned off. If you prefer native rendering, aim a tier or two above your resolution target.

How the final specs compare to the April requirements

The version revealed during the Road to Launch stream in April asked for far more silicon, mostly because it was measured natively. A 4K/60 Ultra target once meant an RTX 5090; it now lands on an RTX 4070 Ti or RX 9070.

The CPU side moved the most in spirit. The April sheet leaned on parts like the Core i5-13600K and Ryzen 9 7950X for its top tiers, while the final Ultra target tops out at a Core i7-12700K or Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

Checking your PC against the list

The Blood of Dawnwalker arrives on September 3rd, 2026, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, published by Bandai Namco. Rebel Wolves has confirmed the game went gold ahead of launch, so the spec sheet above is the one to plan your build around.
