Overview

  • The Rollback Censorship Patch undoes patch 1.5’s controversial changes that rendered bosses unkillable and turned Ming-era enemies into friendly NPCs.
  • The mod, released on August 17 by AVK95, has been downloaded more than 1,000 times from Nexus Mods.
  • Steam users must disable automatic updates and launch the game via the mod’s executable to keep version 1.4 intact, leaving Xbox Game Pass players unable to install it.
  • Reverting to version 1.4 reinstates original story beats and boss deaths but removes quality-of-life improvements such as faster healing animations and revamped recovery.
  • Leenzee Games and publisher 505 Games have offered limited public explanation for the patch 1.5 adjustments, prolonging player frustration.
