Developer Dusty Box recently showed off a first glimpse of their upcoming survival horror game, Cult of Blood. The game is inspired by classics like Resident Evil and aims to capture that retro horror feel. Cult of Blood will be available on PC through Steam, as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and offers a new, disturbing story centered around ritual sacrifice for players craving a nostalgic yet fresh horror experience.
While games like *Sweet Home* (1989) and *Alone in the Dark* (1992) laid some of the groundwork, the 1996 video game *Resident Evil* is generally credited with popularizing the term “survival horror.” *Resident Evil* has continued to be a major influence on the genre, inspiring titles like *Silent Hill* and *Tormented Souls*, and it’s now inspiring a new wave of survival horror games.
Cult of Blood Trailer Showcases Similarities to Resident Evil
In *Cult of Blood*, players step into the shoes of a police officer sent to investigate reports of vampires in a secluded village controlled by a dangerous blood cult. What begins as a simple assignment quickly turns into a terrifying ordeal as the officer becomes the cult’s intended final sacrifice – a key part of a ritual to turn their priestess into a goddess. Like *Resident Evil 4*, the game features frantic battles against possessed villagers and a race to stop the cult’s gruesome plan. Players will need to carefully manage limited supplies while navigating the game using classic, old-school controls and fixed camera angles, all punctuated by dramatic cutscenes during intense fights.
In *Cult of Blood*, players will find and improve their equipment to handle intense close-quarters combat and strategic shooting. The game features challenging boss fights that demand skill and planning, and you’ll face hordes of crazed cultists and terrifying creatures – both physical and supernatural – all trying to break a lone police officer. *Cult of Blood* is designed for fans of classic survival horror, and it shares a lot with games like *Resident Evil*, making it a promising title to watch for.
Recently, several new horror games have become popular with both longtime fans and newcomers. These games often succeed by blending the classic look and feel of older titles with modern updates. It’s still uncertain if *Cult of Blood* will measure up to the games that inspired it, but fans can follow updates before its release and stay informed about other upcoming survival horror titles.
