Current picture
What is known now
Each section keeps its scope narrow so a high-level announcement is not mistaken for a complete launch specification.
Animation pass
The official description names revamped animations. This can change feel and readability without proving any specific damage or frame data.
Adaptive camera
An adaptive camera is announced for combat. Its options, behavior, accessibility settings, and platform differences remain to be documented.
New finishers
New brutal finishers are confirmed, but triggers, frequency, weapon conditions, and gameplay effects are not public.
Signs and evasion
Official copy says swings, Signs, and dodges should feel more dynamic. It does not provide numerical balance data.
Action guide
What to do next
- Step 1
Relearn timing before optimizing
At launch, test dodge, roll, parry, Sign casting, camera behavior, and animation recovery in a low-risk encounter.
- Step 2
Separate feel from numbers
Record control and animation changes independently from damage or stamina comparisons.
- Step 3
Name the version and difficulty
Any future combat test should include patch, platform, difficulty, gear, skills, enemy, and repeat count.
