Ziggurat Interactive purchased the third-person horror franchise back in the summer of 2020. The companies goal is to preserve and expand the legacy of video games. They announced the same day that they would “have additional announcements on the future of BloodRayne“. The original release of BloodRayne was in 2002 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
