We’ve only just seen the return of BloodRayne on console via the release of BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites, but it seems like there is no stopping the Rayne train once it gets moving. Very soon we’ll be seeing the Ziggurat team delivering the deadly dhampir’s enhanced adventures to console with ReVamped versions of BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2.
Yep, the half-human half-vampire Nazi hunter will soon be making a return to console, with updated versions of of BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2 on Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, as well as an exclusive physical release on Switch and PS4 through Limited Run Games. In addition, through backward compatibility, the games will be playable on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 too, pushing out the ReVamped enhanced editions of the original games for console players.
The third-person horror action series BloodRayne introduced gamers to Rayne, a brutal half-vampire femme fatale traveling the world to foil Nazi plans, battle supernatural threats, and uncover more about her vampiric heritage. Featuring a unique protagonist, fast-action combat, vampiric powers, and a globe-spanning storyline, BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2 once offered up dynamic and visceral gameplay experiences, that were loved by fans and critics alike. It didn’t take long for BloodRayne to become a true cross-media phenomenon, spanning games, comics, and films across the early 2000s. But now it’s time to bring that to a more modern day audience.
