Blood: Refreshed Supply: A Brutal Throwback to FPS Glory

Releasing on December 3, 2025, Blood: Refreshed Supply brings the gore-soaked action of a 1997 cult classic to modern systems. Originally developed by Monolith Productions, this first-person shooter has been reimagined for a new generation while preserving the raw intensity that made the original a legendary title. Available on PC, this release serves as the definitive way to experience Caleb's bloody crusade.

Story and Setting: From the Grave to Vengeance

The narrative places you in the boots of Caleb, a former commander of the demonic cult known as the Cabal. Once a devoted follower and one of Tchernobog's chosen elites, Caleb and his comrades are betrayed by the god-like demon Tchernobog. Kidnapping Caleb's true love, Ophelia, the dark deity kills Caleb and his brothers. However, the Cabal is not done yet. Caleb awakens from the grave, fueled by rage, and returns to hunt down Tchernobog and his murderous lieutenants across 42 blood-soaked levels.

Gameplay and Mechanics: Hard as Nails

Blood: Refreshed Supply adheres strictly to the classic FPS genre system. Players run through levels, kill everything that appears, collect ammo, uncover secrets, and hunt for keys to open doors. The game is known for its brutal difficulty; even at the lowest setting, it remains as hard as nails, offering a wild ride for retro FPS enthusiasts. In an era where stories often focus on complex emotional journeys, this title offers a welcome return to straightforward, unapologetic action. It is a game that does not care about your feelings, providing a cathartic experience of blasting undead and demons with flare guns and a pitchfork simply because you can.

Iconic Arsenal and Gore

The game shines with its creative and performant instruments of destruction. Caleb wields an arsenal that includes the iconic Pitchfork for impaling enemies, the Pistol of Distress, Aerosol Bomb, and Flame Thrower for incinerating foes. Players can also use Dynamite Sticks, Machine Gun, and Sawed-off Shotgun. More obscure methods include the Voodoo Doll and Leech offerings. Combat involves facing Adeptes, Fanatics, Zealots, Acolytes, and hordes of infernal creatures ranging from zombies and gargoyles to hellfire dogs.
