Malmö / London - 27 August 2021: Swedish game developer Sharkmob is excited to announce that Bloodhunt, its brand new title set in the Vampire: The Masquerade universe, will be launching into Early Access on Steam 7th September 2021.

Early Access will be introduced in two Acts unlocking new playable areas in Prague, challenges and lore progression. A special Founder’s Battle Pass will also be made available in free and paid versions. Players will be able to progress through over 20 levels of free qualitative rewards with up to 100 rewards in the paid version unlocking tattoos, outfits, makeup, piercings, XP boosts, avatars and much more.

“I am really excited about the release of our first game and want to congratulate the team and our partners on their great achievement! I love what Bloodhunt brings to the Battle Royale genre and with the game live the real adventure begins as we continue developing the game together with the community” added Fredrik Rundqvist, CEO of Sharkmob.
