Cult Classic ‘Blood’ Gets a Second, Definitive Remaster: Refreshed Supply Hitting Consoles for the First Time

The ’90s FPS revival gains another massive entry as Nightdive Studios, the undisputed masters of the video game remaster, officially announce Blood: Refreshed Supply. This new version of the 1997 cult classic shooter, originally developed by Monolith Productions, marks the game’s long-awaited debut on consoles, promising a definitive, feature-rich experience for both veterans and newcomers to the grisly, Lovecraftian world of undead gunslinger Caleb.

The game is set to launch on December 4, 2025, for PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store) and all major consoles: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. A dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 version is also confirmed for release in early 2026.

Beyond Fresh Supply: The Definitive Technical Overhaul

This is not Nightdive’s first rodeo with the title; they previously released Blood: Fresh Supply on PC in 2019. However, Refreshed Supply is being touted as the ultimate edition, featuring a host of technical and content enhancements designed to fully utilize modern hardware and deliver a superior experience. This commitment to iterative improvement underscores Nightdive’s focus on product quality and customer satisfaction within the lucrative boomer shooter niche.

Key technical upgrades and features include:

• 4K Resolution and Unlocked Framerates: On PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, players can expect stunning visuals with support for 4K resolution and gameplay running at up to 120 FPS, ensuring a buttery-smooth experience that the Build Engine originally couldn’t deliver.
• Console Debut: This release finally brings the classic FPS to a console audience, broadening the game’s market reach significantly.
• Expanded Multiplayer: The game features fully rewritten netcode, supporting up to eight players in both online co-op and PvP modes like “Bloodbath” and 4v4 “Capture The Flag.” For local play, the game supports split-screen action.
• Enhanced Modding Support: Blood: Refreshed Supply boasts extended modding support, including compatibility with existing fan-made content.

New Missions and Community Content Integration

The biggest draw for existing fans is the official integration of popular community-created content, turning the remaster into a truly collaborative, definitive edition. Nightdive is officially collaborating with mod creators to include and expand on their work, a major nod to the devoted fan base that has sustained the game for decades.

• The Complete Original Experience: The package includes the original Blood campaign along with both official add-ons: Plasma Pak and Cryptic Passage.
• New Scenario: Marrow: This substantial new mission scenario, originally a popular fan mod, will be available right at launch, offering a fresh continuation of Caleb’s quest for vengeance against the dark god Tchernobog.
• Post-Launch Update: Death Wish: Another highly-regarded community mod will be integrated as a free post-launch update, providing even more content and longevity to the title.

For PC players who already own the 2019 version, Blood: Fresh Supply will be delisted and replaced by the new Refreshed Supply on December 4th. These owners will be eligible for a generous 66.6% loyalty discount to upgrade, an attractive offer that recognizes the continued support of the PC gaming community.

The return of Blood as a polished, feature-complete package for a modern audience underscores the enduring commercial value and nostalgia associated with the golden era of ’90s PC gaming and firmly establishes Nightdive Studios as a crucial player in video game preservation and remastering. Are you ready to dive back into the bloody, candle-lit world of Caleb?
