Description

Nightdive Studios is once again making waves in the retro FPS scene with the announcement of 'Blood: Refreshed Supply,' a comprehensive remaster of their acclaimed update to the cult classic shooter.

Scheduled for release on December 4, 2025, the game is set to launch on PC and consoles, including the Nintendo Switch, marking the first time the legendary 'Blood' series will be natively available on modern platforms. Originally developed by Monolith Productions and debuting in 1997, 'Blood' quickly cemented its reputation as one of the era's most inventive and visceral shooters.

While Nightdive Studios brought the game to modern audiences in 2019 with 'Blood: Fresh Supply,' this upcoming 'Refreshed Supply' edition aims to deliver the definitive way to revisit—or discover for the first time—Caleb's harrowing journey against the Cabal. Nightdive Studios has emphasized that the remaster will not only preserve the game's unique atmosphere and tongue-in-cheek attitude but also enhance it with significant upgrades.

As part of their announcement, studio representatives detailed the many improvements awaiting players.

On PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One/Series X|S, 'Blood: Refreshed Supply' will feature up to 4K resolution at 120 frames per second, fully customizable controls for both keyboard and gamepads, as well as comprehensive support for mods—including all content compatible with previous releases. Nintendo Switch users, notably, will gain access to a robust package complete with the original add-ons, Plasma Pak and Cryptic Passage, as well as newly crafted mission scenarios dubbed 'Marrow' and 'Death Wish.' Marrow will be available on launch day, while Death Wish is planned as a free post-launch update.

Multiplayer aficionados will appreciate the support for local split-screen and cross-platform online matches accommodating up to eight players, with dedicated modes for co-op, PvP Bloodbath, and classic 4v4 Capture The Flag. Behind-the-scenes extras will offer deeper insights into the title's rich development history, giving fans and newcomers alike reasons to revisit the world of 'Blood.' Nightdive Studios shared, in summary, that their goal is to honor the original while extending its legacy with brand-new content and modern features tailored for today's hardware. With 'Blood: Refreshed Supply' launching the same week as high-profile titles like 'Metroid Prime 4: Beyond' and 'Octopath Traveler 0,' the competition for players' time will be fierce.

Yet for devotees of vintage shooters, this state-of-the-art reimagining promises to be an essential addition to the Nintendo Switch library and beyond.
