BloodLoop: The shooter that wants to break the rules

BloodLoop, the third-person tactical shooter developed by Ragnarok Games, will enter early access on Epic Games Store on June 23, 2025. The game delivers a competitive gameplay experience set in a dystopian universe where three factions battle for control of a vital resource.

An ambitious project with solid backing

BloodLoop is the debut title from Swiss studio Ragnarok Games, in development since 2021. In March 2024, it secured $4 million in seed funding, which strengthened its technical infrastructure and competitive focus. It is currently among the 30 most wishlisted games on Epic Games Store.

Tactical-focused game modes

BloodLoop will launch in early access with three core modes:

• Team Deathmatch: 5v5 battles with direct action.
• Energy War: an objective-based mode involving collecting and delivering energy.
• Free-for-All: everyone versus everyone—only one remains.

Every match requires strategic coordination, use of special abilities, and control of the environment.

Character lineup and gameplay

The hero system features characters with unique roles and playstyles. The launch trailer, released one week before debut, revealed three main characters so far:

• Wendigo: a tracking and hunting expert.
• Qatil: a fast and stealthy assassin.
• Steve: a humorous yet deadly character in combat.

Web3 integrated without disrupting gameplay

BloodLoop incorporates an optional blockchain economy designed to not interfere with gameplay. Features include:

• Built on an Avalanche subnet using proof-of-stake.
• Asset trading and ownership (such as skins) via NFTs.
• Integrated wallet, no need for external apps.
• Blockchain participation is 100% optional.

Ongoing development plan

Early access will last for at least six months. During this time:

• Accounts and progress will be preserved.
• New characters, maps, and modes will be added.
• Continuous balance adjustments will be implemented.

Conclusion

BloodLoop presents itself as a competitive hero shooter with a clear proposition: gameplay first, optional Web3 integration, and ongoing development. Its tactical core, dystopian setting, and diverse game modes aim to attract both traditional gamers and those exploring new forms of digital engagement.
