Publishers Warner Bros. Games and Atari, and developers Nightdive Studios and Monolith Productions have announced a remaster for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. It will launch on December 4 for $29.99 on all platforms except Switch 2, which will follow in early 2026.
“Since we released Blood six years ago, the demand from fans to have this iconic game on consoles has been immense,” said Nightdive Studios vice president of business development Larry Kuperman in a press release. “With our partners at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Nightdive, and Atari can now deliver on those demands and finally bring Blood to modern consoles. We didn’t stop there, though. Blood is the definitive edition of Blood, with additional improvements made and exciting new content from Nightdive.”
Blood is the definitive remaster of the 1997 cult classic shooter that’s set to engorge players with new content and eviscerate consoles for the first time. Officially licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, nonstop hellfire-fueled mayhem will hit PC and consoles.
Originally developed by Monolith Productions and released in 1997 on MS-DOS PCs, Blood is a legendary first-person shooter dripping with Lovecraftian atmosphere and chunks of crimson viscera. Nightdive Studios released an updated edition called Blood: Fresh Supply on PC in 2019; now, the studio is back with a definitive remaster featuring additional technical enhancements for modern platforms, including up to 4K resolution at unlocked frame rates, local split-screen and online co-op for up to 8 players, a Vault with behind-the-scenes content from the development of Blood, and more. In addition to the original Blood campaign and the Plasma Pak and Cryptic Passage add-ons, Blood features two new mission scenarios: Marrow (available at launch) and Death Wish (releasing post-launch).
Players of Blood will jump into the boots of undead gunslinger Caleb as he seeks revenge against the dark god Tchernobog. Despite his once powerful position as a fearsome Cabal commander and one of Tchernobog’s “Chosen” few, Caleb and his fellow Chosen are betrayed by the dark god and slain for reasons unknown. Seeking answers and vengeance, Caleb rises from the grave to put a stop to Tchernobog and his murderous lieutenants once and for all. Caleb’s arsenal features a mix of standard and occult weaponry, which he uses to devastating and gore-filled effect.
Players will battle through armies of bloodthirsty fiends, including cultists, gargoyles, zombies, hellhounds, alongside a host of other unholy terrors. Blood will treat players to 42 pulse-pounding levels, where they’ll mutilate foes with a vicious arsenal of weapons. Additionally, buddies can take the fun into multiplayer, either online or on the couch in split-screen. Advanced modding support also keeps juices flowing for custom fan-made content.
