BloodRayne: Definitive Collection combines BloodRayne: Terminal Cut, BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut, and BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites in one comprehensive package, delivering the complete saga of the iconic dhampir heroine Rayne. Players step into the role of Rayne, a dhampir (half-human, half-vampire), and agent of the secretive Brimstone Society, tasked with hunting supernatural threats around the world. Across the trilogy, Rayne stands out as one of gaming’s earliest female anti-heroes, battling occult forces, monstrous enemies, and powerful vampire adversaries while confronting her own dark origins. The collection brings together the most complete and refined versions of the original games to date, enhanced for modern systems with newly implemented patches delivering improved performance, stability, and overall playability. Featuring upgraded visuals, high-resolution support, enhanced textures, and modern quality-of-life features, this marks the first time the trilogy has been presented in such a definitive form. Blending third-person action, hack-and-slash combat, shooting mechanics, and fast-paced 2D platforming, the series offers a distinctive retro-horror experience across a variety of gameplay styles. From battling supernatural threats tied to Nazi occult conspiracies in the 1930s, to confronting Rayne’s own vampire family and ultimately facing her father in a deadly castle stronghold, the BloodRayne saga delivers a dark and action-packed vampire adventure spanning three iconic titles. ​In addition to the Limited Edition, fans and collectors can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition, featuring a carefully curated selection of physical extras!

Publisher Strictly Limited Games and developer Ziggurat Interactive have announced BloodRayne: Definitive Collection for PlayStation 5 and Switch. It includes BloodRayne: Revamped, BloodRayne 2: Revamped, and BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites, and will be available both physically and digitally.

Here are the first details:

The collection features all three games from the iconic action horror series, which first made (crimson) waves in the early 2000’s. Starring red-headed dhampir (half-human half-vampire) Rayne (voiced by Laura Bailey), the series takes the protagonist on blood-soaked adventures. Rayne confronts the Third Reich in BloodRayne, goes on a rampage against her siblings in BloodRayne 2, and hacks, slashes and feeds her way through an underground castle as Bailey and Troy Baker reprise their roles in BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites.

Exclusive, physical Limited Editions of BloodRayne: Definitive Collection will be available for collectors on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, marking the very first time the entire enhanced collection will be available in one physical release. The enhancements in the ReVamped versions of the first two games include improved graphics, cinematics, and atmospheric effects, all presented in high-definition.
