i hope you are all enjoying a blazingly beautiful Sunday. We have finally arrived at that time: we have a release date.
Blood Bond - Into the Shroud will be updated on May 7th on Steam - to the final build. We thank you very much for the patience and for the long wait for those that joined us since Early Access.
Trying to create an old-school RPG for modern times was not without its challenges, but we have finally arrived at the finish line. There is good news and a little bit of bad news:
The Good Shit
- The game will be fully voiced. Yup, every single character.
- The game will come out in 5 languages (subtitles and game menus etc) including Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Russian.
- The game will have a post-launch roadmap of additional content, all of it will be free. We will tell you more after the launch.
- The game will be coming out console in 2022
- The game is fully controller compatible
The Less than Good Shit
A lot has happened since we started this journey. We now have distribution deals all over the world and the game is coming out in many more areas than just Steam.As a result of it, I had to make some comprises on ensuring continuity of the gaming experience between regions and stores. We are therefore not going to use any Steam-only features. Like Steam Achievements and Steam Trading Cards etc. I know this will disappoint some of you, but they are not compatible across regional stores in non-US and Western Europe locations and a great deal of the world does not use Steam.
Looking forward to finally getting this into your hands,
best regards
