Blood: Refreshed Supply Set for Nintendo Switch Release in December 2025; Switch 2 Version Coming in 2026
Nintendo fans will soon get their hands on a highly anticipated remaster, as Blood: Refreshed Supply is officially making its way to both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
The definitive edition of the iconic 1997 first-person shooter will arrive digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch on December 4, 2025.
A dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 version is scheduled to follow in early 2026, promising a new era of accessibility and technical polish for fans of the cult classic.
Originally developed by Monolith Productions and first released for MS-DOS in 1997, Blood quickly established a devoted following thanks to its atmospheric design, dynamic arsenal, and memorable protagonist.
The Refreshed Supply remaster brings a slew of enhancements tailored for modern hardware, appealing not only to long-time fans but also to newcomers eager for a taste of retro shooter action on Nintendo platforms.
Expanded Content and Modern Enhancements
Blood: Refreshed Supply revives the dark tale of Caleb, the undead gunslinger driven by vengeance against his former master, the demonic Tchernobog.
Players will fight their way through 42 meticulously updated levels teeming with deadly cultists and supernatural monsters, wielding an arsenal filled with inventive weapons—from the classic Pitchfork to the explosive Napalm Launcher and the supernatural Voodoo Doll.
All content from the original release returns, including both the Plasma Pak and Cryptic Passage expansions.
Two brand-new scenarios extend the experience: the Marrow campaign is available at launch, while Death Wish—an acclaimed fan creation now officially integrated—will be added as a post-launch update.
Speaking on the new features, the development team emphasized a commitment to authenticity and improvement: “Refreshed Supply represents our dedication to both honoring the legacy of Blood and modernizing gameplay for today’s platforms.
We’ve enhanced visuals, performance, and multiplayer modes to offer a truly definitive remaster.”
