Bloodless Switch release date set for October

Bloodless was announced for Switch just a couple of weeks ago, but we already have a release date. 3D Realms and Point N’ Sheep announced today that it’s planned for October 10, 2024.

Bloodless, which was confirmed for Switch at the end of August, is a retro-stylized 2D souls-like adventure. Just a general 2024 launch window was initially provided.

For those that need a refresher, check out the following rundown of the game:

In Bloodless, you’ve relinquished your sword and sworn to never draw blood again. Engage your former allies at a disadvantage using only your bare hands to disarm them in hard-hitting, non-lethal combat. Master the dash counter and customize your playstyle to unleash devastating attacks and bring your foes to their knees. Explore Bakugawa’s beautifully rendered pixel-art world as you battle to free it from the clutches of Shogun Akechi and bring peace to the land you once called home.

Key Features

• Unique Non-Lethal Combat: Tomoe has sworn not to take another life – master a combination of disarming counters and powerful ki-attacks to defeat your enemies.
• Depth & Customization: Use special ki techniques for unique combos, as well as enhancements from crests and herb infusions you’ll find across the land of Bakugawa.
• Striking Environments: Explore the sacred natural environments and oppressed districts of Bakugawa, which suffers under a violent and corrupt military regime.
• Emotional Storytelling: Seen as a coward and deserter in the eyes of her own people, Tomoe must return to her former land to spark the hope and courage Bakugawa needs to fight back.
• Extra Challenges: Push your skills to the limit by collecting Warrior Idols scattered throughout Bakugawa and unlocking the Arenas.
