[Trailer] ‘ReVamped’ Versions of ‘BloodRayne’ And ‘BloodRayne 2’ Available Today For PS4, Xbox One And Nintendo Switch
The wait is finally over for console fans waiting to sink their teeth (sorry) into Ziggurat Interactive’s remasters of BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2. Both ReVamped titles are now available on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The games were originally released on PC last year as with the Terminal Cut.
On top of that, the two titles will be receiving an exclusive physical release for the Switch, PS4, and PS5 courtesy of Limited Run Games through November 28th, which you can pre-order here.
As was the case with the PC versions, the ReVamped versions of BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2 feature the following:
- Support for higher display resolutions (up to 4K / 3840×2160 on supported consoles)
- Upscaled cinematic videos
- Improvements to lighting at the engine level, plus fully reprocessed lighting data
- Engine improvements to support uncompressed original textures
- Improvements to effects such as reflections, water, fog, and shadows
- Expanded localizations:
- BloodRayne: Voiced audio and localized text for English, French, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish
- BloodRayne 2: Voiced audio in English and Russian. Localized text for English, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish
BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2 were originally developed by Terminal Reality, and published by Majesco Entertainment for the PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Gamecube.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
