Why did I suddenly switch to walking?

By default your character is set to run. However, it is possible to switch to walking by pressing NUM/ on your keyboard. If you find your character has suddenly started walking rather than running, you may have pressed this key in error.

When playing with a gamepad, pushing in the left stick will switch from running to walking. It is also possible to walk by holding the B button (〇 on PS5™/PS4™, B on Xbox Series X|S).
