Super Rare Games, in partnership with Headup and developer Com8com1 Software, has announced a limited physical release of Bloodshed for Nintendo Switch.
The boxed edition will be a 3,000-unit standard run and goes on sale May 21 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM UK / 7 PM Europe via Super Rare's storefront.
Packaging and availability
The standard physical package includes the cartridge, a full-color manual, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards.
The companies have stated there are currently no plans for a special edition beyond this standard release.
Super Rare Games has placed the drop date and time prominently on its site; collectors and interested players should be prepared for a limited stock of 3,000 copies.
Gameplay overview (rewritten)
Bloodshed combines roguelite progression with retro-inspired visuals and fast-paced, first-person combat influenced by the Survivors-style wave-based action.
Players face successive waves of undead foes while collecting experience to upgrade skills and weapons.
Crucially, in Bloodshed players retain money earned across runs, allowing them to purchase persistent upgrades and unlock additional content that helps progression even after in-run deaths.

This physical release follows the digital debut and brings a collectible option for Switch owners who prefer boxed editions.
