- An Update about Our 1.0 Release - 2 September 2026
Hey, everyone!Since it's been a while since our last Major Update, I thought it'd be good to talk a bit about how things are going and the future of our game. So, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news are, our 1.0 Release is getting slightly delayed. It's not due to development issues, by the way! Our development is basically done, and the stuff that's missing is pretty minor. The reason for our delay is mostly due to release calendar shenanigans, and so we're planning on launching in late November 2026.So what are the good news? Well, we aren't going to just stand around until then. Along with our 1.0 Release, if everything goes well, we'll be launching Nintendo Switch and Xbox ports for BloodRush, too!Until then, we hope to launch a few more patches, both big and small, with the usual adjustments, bugfixes, improvements and even a couple new features.
