Blightbound News

As we count down to Blightbound’s full launch on 27th July 2021, we’d like to give back to the amazing players who have supported us through early access.



Every weekend starting from today, players can claim the one of the 4 cosmetic items in Blightbound – Zerrish Nameplate, Bolt Blades, Cyber Set, and Fancy Flamingo. These are completely free for you to claim and keep forever!

This weekend, the Zerrish Nameplate is available to claim right now until Monday! Want to show your fellow players that the Viper God is the one true god in Blightbound? Equip the Zerrish Nameplate in the cosmetics tab while customising your heroes! Claim the Zerrish Nameplate cosmetic here!



Once you click download here!, the game should launch and you should already have claimed the cosmetic. To double check, click on any hero in the refuge, then go to the "Cosmetics" tab, you should be able to toggle the cosmetic on and off in that tab.

If you happen to be reading this on Monday 12th July and fear that you missed out, not to worry, you will still be able to redeem the Zerrish Nameplate on the Ronimo Games Twitch Channel for 600 Roni Points, which doesn’t cost any money but takes between 1-2 streams to earn depending on how engaged and active you are with the stream and with chat!

[h2]Improvements & Fixes[/h2]

Since 0.7.2, we have been hard at work making improvements to every aspect of Blightbound, especially focusing on bug/crash fixes, crossplay compatibility and stability, console performance, and AI improvements. These improvements and many more will all arrive in the 1.0 full release!

Blightbound has been discounted by 25% during the ongoing Devolver publisher sale!

[h3]The sale ends in just under 22 hours, or on Tuesday 11th May at 10am PT. [/h3]

We have made continuous improvements in every aspect of the game, especially with a focus on improving AI in the past few updates and patches. We are currently hard at work on getting Blightbound ready for its 1.0 release coming soon™️.

We have a couple of huge announcements lined up, but we're not quite ready to make them just yet, we're still mauling over a few details internally, but keep an eye out on this space, there should be some big announcements coming in the next 2 weeks (hopefully)!

If you have any feedback or suggestions please leave them in the relevant Steam (Sub) Forums or in the relevant channels in the Official Ronimo Discord.

If you would like to see Blightbound gameplay from the latest patch, there is plenty of footage on the Official Ronimo Twitch Channel. If you would like to see some beginner gameplay of the first few dungeons, check out the new series we just started on our Twitch channel called "The Impossible Journey" where we play through the stories of every hero, then try to win a game on Impossible Difficulty! Check out episodes 1, 2, and 3.

Best of luck venturing into the Blight!

Hey everyone! It's been a while and we've been working incredibly hard on getting Blightbound ready for 1.0!

The partial reason why this patch has taken so long is because we've been fixing so many bugs and making so many improvements. Every time we hit a milestone, we think "but it would be great if we can also include fixes from the next milestone..." and the whole process repeats itself and snowballs 😅

Check out the full list of changes here.

We have some big announcements coming up for 1.0 but we're not quite ready to make them yet. Keep an eye out on this space and there should be some big juicy announcements and leaks in the coming 2 weeks!

Blightbound cosmetics are FINALLY in-game! There are 4 cosmetics items, a nameplate and 3 weapon skins, 1 for each class! These cosmetics items only change the look of the weapons you have equipped, the perks and abilities of your equipped weapons are still active. These cosmetics items are only visual and give no gameplay advantage.

Zerrish Nameplate
Equip the Zerrish Nameplate and let your fellow players know that you worship Zerrish the Viper God! 🐍


Bolt Blades
Get ready to shock, electrify, and zap your enemies with the Bolt Blades cosmetics. Equip the Bolt Blades on your Assassins and backstab your way to victory! 🗡️


Cyber Set
Chuck on you holo-glasses, power up your hover bikes and equip the Cyber Set cosmetics to your Warrior class heroes! 🛡️


Fancy Flamingo
Feeling pink and fancy? Bored of edgy staffs? Equip the Fancy Flamingo cosmetic on your Mages and make them the fanciest and most magical heroes in Blightbound! 🦩


[h3]How to obtain them?[/h3]
Currently, the only way to obtain them is as channel point rewards by earning Roni Points through watching our streams every Monday and Thursday at 7pm CET 1pm ET 10am PT on our Twitch Channel.
But if you can’t make it to the streams, rest assured, there will be opportunities to acquire these cosmetics both in-game and out of game!
