Kruger & Flint Productions’ Bloody Arcade FPS ‘Bloodhound’ Arrives July 18 on Steam [Trailer]
After the launch of the free prologue back in March, developer Kruger & Flint Productions has announced that their arcade FPS Bloodhound will launch July 18th on PC via Steam. Coinciding with the announcement is a new gameplay trailer for Bloodhound that gets right to the point with plenty of guns, blood and a sweet metal soundtrack.
In Bloodhound,players take on the role of a member of the Order of Keepers of the Gates, tasked with guarding the gates of Hell against the Cult of Astaroth, who seek to open them and let all hell loose.
With locations inspired by cult horror movies and real world locations, tons of unique enemies and devastating Hell bosses, an arsenal of weapons (including a machete, double-barreled shotgun, crossbow, rocket launcher and a chainsaw-flamethrower), players can expect to face the army of Hell locked and loaded, ready to experience a hyper fast-paced and bloody explosive gameplay.
“We hope you’re ready for an explosive encounter with the forces of evil, as Bloodhound will waste no time in throwing players into hyper fast-paced, bloody FPS gameplay,” exclaimed Rafal “Flint” Krzeminski, CEO of Kruger & Flint Productions. “After a constructive and successful prologue release, it’s nearly time for the real thing! Will you survive the blood-soaked battles and embrace the true essence of being hell’s very own gatekeeper?!”

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
