The Wolfenstein series is known for its ruthless bloodshed and cool guns, but one particular gun from Wolfenstein: Youngblood might be a little too cool. Youngblood just launched in July, and its final boss battle is notoriously difficult.

During the battle with Lothar Brandt (disgraced Nazi commander and big bad of Youngblood), being annihilated in a couple of seconds flat is upsettingly common. It's mostly because of Lothar's mind-bogglingly overpowered gun, and the fact that Lothar as an enemy is so much higher in difficulty than basically any other enemy in the game.

In fact, it's such a difficult battle that players have complained to developer Machine Games about it--and devs are responding. While addressing the contents of an upcoming patch for Youngblood, players got some welcome news via the game's official Twitter account. The game's next patch will be entirely focused on addressing "difficulty and progression issues" gathered from player feedback. The final boss battle is one such area of the game getting a major adjustment (which might end up reducing the time it takes to beat Youngblood).

Youngblood's battle with Lothar isn't the only boss level fight to be changed, either. Machine Games' patch notes for the most recent update, 1.0.4., also include plans for the yet to be released update 1.0.5. The developer is planning "adjustments across the board, especially in boss fights," along with additional checkpoints, more generous amounts of ammo throughout the game, and making 100% game completion an easier feat to achieve. Neither Machine Games nor Bethesda has set a date for this patch to drop, given that patch 1.0.4 just went live a couple of days ago.

This means the masses of Youngblood players claiming that enemies feel like "bullet sponges" may soon be appeased. Indeed, some are already responding to the news on Twitter with glee--and a certain degree of surprise that registering online complaints actually worked. Keeping the player base engaged is important for developers, and players can hardly stay engaged when they're rage-quitting left and right.

It'll be interesting to see the players' reaction to this next patch all the same. Youngblood's demanding combat was one of the few things lauded in its otherwise lukewarm reception, and it seems more common for players to be clamoring for a challenge. Time will tell if Youngblood's upcoming adjustments can maintain the thrill of its battles while also making them feel winnable for players.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It will also be released for Google Stadia at a date yet to be determined.
