An easier Story difficulty and combat changes are planned for early October

In a September 21 interview with Eurogamer, game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz said Rebel Wolves was targeting early October for a larger update. His priorities include an easier difficulty, changes to combat targeting and smoother escape from fights. The interview is a preview of that work, not a released patch note list.

• The announced setting is easier than the Story difficulty available at the time of the interview.
• Use the difficulty options available in your installed version for now. The announced naming change does not alter the current four-preset comparison until the update is released.

• Tomaszkiewicz confirmed that the studio is exploring New Game Plus, but did not give a release date or announce it as part of the early-October patch.
• Additional enemy variety was also discussed as a possibility. Neither topic provides a confirmed feature list for the next update.

• Keep a manual save before major decisions and preserve a backup before changing installations. Continue planning builds around the abilities, equipment and difficulty settings currently available.
• The latest PC hotfix covered separately here is 1.0.5, which targets shader compilation. It should not be confused with the larger update described in this interview.
