Bloodthief Release Date Announced
Developed by independent studio Blargis, Bloodthief is an extraordinary game that blends retro inspiration with modern combat and movement mechanics. Players will control a vampire, utilizing special abilities enhanced by blood, and challenge their opponents in a speed-focused melee combat system. According to Blargis, the game’s fast-paced parkour system and fluid combat will appeal particularly to those who enjoy skill-based games.
What Will Bloodthief Offer?
Bloodthief’s most striking feature is its consistently fast-paced, momentum-driven combat system. Each attack grants the player extra speed and power, while wall-running, sudden dash, and acrobatic moves allow for uninterrupted progression. The development team emphasizes that this system will encourage players not only to fight but also to navigate the environment fluidly.
In the game, the vampire character’s power is entirely dependent on blood. Blood harvested from enemies will be key not only to health but also to special abilities, speed, and survival. This mechanic, unlike traditional resource management systems, makes every move more exciting with its balance of risk and reward.
Bloodthief’s world is just as ambitious as its combat system. In labyrinthine dungeons, players will discover different routes, hidden loot, and alternative paths. This will make every run a unique experience. For speed enthusiasts, there will also be leaderboards, ghost races, and a medal system, adding a competitive edge.
Blargis emphasizes the game’s “boomer slasher” design. Combining the challenge inspired by retro games with a modern pace, the game is particularly appealing to the speedrunning community. The game’s Steam page is live, and a new trailer released alongside the launch showcases the dynamic combat sequences and parkour mechanics. Bloodthief will be released for PC (Steam) on September 22, 2025.
