On October 23rd, Headup and com8com1 Software will launch Bloodshed, a first-person shooter with roguelite elements and gameplay inspired by “Survivors-like” titles, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch, the companies announced.
Bloodshed initially became available on PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG in Early Access on December 14, 2024, before being fully released on May 22, 2025.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Bloodshed is a fast-paced game that combines the challenge of roguelites with retro graphics and intense, first-person combat, similar to “survivors-like” games. You’ll fight never-ending hordes of undead, earn experience to improve your abilities and weapons, and try to survive as long as possible. Don’t worry about starting over completely after each defeat-you keep the money you earn, which you can use to unlock permanent upgrades and new content, helping you get further each time and adding more to the game.
Confront the Devilish Onslaught
Confront the evil Cult, who are plotting to revive an ancient god and trigger the end of the world. Fight hordes of cultists, the undead, demons, and other nightmarish creatures, and banish them back to where they belong!
Every enemy is different and needs a specific approach to defeat – and you’ll need to prepare fast, as they attack in large numbers!
Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome
Bloodshed offers a wide range of characters to play, and each one has unique skills and ways to play, letting you customize your experience. You’ll have access to tons of weapons and abilities, so you can try out different combinations to find the best way to stay alive.
If things go well and you plan carefully, you’ll be able to defend yourself against the armies of darkness!
Gear Up for the Next Run
Even after defeat, you can still get stronger. In Bloodshed, you’ll find constant improvements, new content to unlock, and the chance to spend your earnings on lasting upgrades. Completing optional goals also lets you gain new abilities and features, meaning every attempt takes you deeper into the dark world of the Cult.
