BloodRayne: Terminal Cut Launches Today!

BloodRayne is back!

These “Terminal Cut” editions feature enhancements such as 4k gameplay, upscaled cinematics, better lighting, 4x anti-aliasing, and more. BloodRayne: Terminal Cut and BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut are available for $14.99 USD, at a substantial discount during launch week, and are free for current owners of the original games on Steam and GOG.com.



“We were blown away by the fan response to the new Terminal Editions. Even after all these years, the BloodRayne community is still an incredibly vibrant group of fans, and we’re going to do everything we can to make them proud. Thank you,” said Wade Rosen, President of Ziggurat Interactive.

Both Terminal Cut editions feature:

Goodbye Jaggies: Thanks to improved rendering, these versions of BloodRayne run with up to 4x anti-aliasing

Modern Resolution: The enhanced editions of BloodRayne support display resolutions up to 4K / 3840x2160

Improved Environmental Effects: Enjoy more immersive environments thanks to improved effects like reflections, water, fog, and shadows

Use Your Elite Controller: Modern controllers are now supported, thanks to the addition of XInput controller support.

New Language Support: Accessibility is important, and actually understanding the dialogue in a game does wonders for immersion. New localizations include:
BloodRayne: Terminal Cut: Fully voiced with localized interfaces in English, French, Italian, Spanish, and Russian
BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut: Fully voiced in English and Russian, plus localized interface and subtitles for French, German, Italian, and Spanish

...and Much More: Upscaled cinematic videos, lighting improvements, support for uncompressed original textures, and Windows 10 optimization ensure that these are the absolute best versions of both titles.

Originally released in 2002, BloodRayne follows the red-headed half-vampire, Rayne, as she travels around the world hunting Nazis. Players wield a variety of vampiric powers — and the infamous Twin Arm Blades — in thrilling, third-person combat. The sequel, BloodRayne 2, found the hungry heroine hunting down a vampiric cult set on world domination, using an expanded arsenal of weapons and abilities. The games spawned a theatrical film and a comic book series detailing Rayne’s life and exploits.

BloodRayne 1 and 2 get 'Terminal Cut' upgrades this month

The BloodRayne series is an odd relic of the early 2000s that certainly has its fans but arguably remains in the shadow of better, more timeless vampire games. Alas, it's 2020 and every game that someone, somewhere holds a strange love for is being brought back from the dead.


Ziggurat Interactive has now confirmed that its updated 'Terminal Cut' versions of BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2 will land November 20 on GOG and Steam. For those not in the know, BloodRayne and its sequel are third-person action-horror games that follow the eponymous half-vampire on her globetrotting quest to slay some Nazis and uncover the truth behind her vampire heritage.


If you happen to own the current version of either game, you'll receive the new one for the price of nowt. That's a pretty good deal, especially seeing as the updates seem reasonably extensive. You can expect to see support for up to 4K resolution, improved rendering with up to 4x anti-aliasing, upscaled cinematics, tweaks to the lighting at engine level, including fully reworked lighting data, and some improved reflection, water, fog, and shadow effects work. You can also play with a gamepad if you fancy it.
