Bloodbound Is Back: The Overhaul Is in Alpha
The hunt never really stopped. Since our last update we've been rebuilding Bloodbound from the ground up, and the overhaul we promised on Steam is now running on our alpha branch, where every new build gets tested.
What changed
Pretty much everything. Bloodbound now runs on Unreal Engine 5, with a new menu and HUD, and full controller support next to mouse and keyboard.
- Two modes: Team Deathmatch, nonstop with respawns and a side swap at halftime, and Elimination, round-based with no respawns.
- Eight characters, four Slayers and four Vampires, each with their own weapons, specials and play style.
- Cinematic finishers for both sides.
- Perks, specializations and character mastery to make each hunter your own.
- A battle pass and a store, with Fangs you earn by playing.
- Parties, quick match and hosting, text and voice chat, and bots that fill empty slots.
The rule that made Bloodbound what it is stays: bullets drop a vampire, but only a stake finishes one. Leave a downed vampire alone and it gets back up.
Free to play
When the overhaul launches, Bloodbound becomes free to play. Everyone who owns the game on Steam before then is a founder, with rewards waiting the first time they sign in. The details are in our store post.
