But wait… did you read that right? New Blood?! Oh HELL yes you did.
The New Blood West
Seeing your engagement along initiatives such as the Creep Contest, Feedback Survey and Expansion Teaser, proved to us that there is just not enough Blood West for you yet, and we feel exactly the same.
While looking at the possible future of the Blood West franchise, as the video game world has been shaken to its foundations, we’ve decided to significantly expand the game with new content and partner up with the one publisher we’ve always looked up to, New Blood Interactive - in order to see Blood West reach its full potential.
Hyperstrange is now closely working with New Blood together on Blood West. Meaning you can expect another layer of quality to come to barren lands, new content, fully fledged expansions like Dead Man’s Promise.
But that’s not all….
