BloodLoop, 5v5 Hero Shooter is Now Live in Early Access
The long-awaited free to play hero shooter BloodLoop is live in early access from June 23, exclusively through the Epic Games Store. Built by Swiss studio Ragnarok Games, BloodLoop brings players into a dystopian future of tactical 5v5 combat, with full blockchain integration, competitive play, and a major airdrop event to mark its debut.
What is Bloodloop?
In the year 2191, three factions clash for control of the planet in BloodLoop. To avoid destroying their world, they’ve created a virtual arena, the BloodLoop, to resolve their conflicts. This sci-fi backdrop fuels the game’s fast-paced action and layered strategy.
At launch, players can choose from three distinct game modes. Team Deathmatch pits two squads in direct combat, Energy War offers a more objective-focused tactical experience, and Free-For-All mode brings a chaotic solo competition where only the strongest survive. All game modes support up to 10 players, with 5v5 being the primary format for team-based play.
The game will also feature five unique champions at launch, each with their own playstyles and abilities. The newly released launch trailer highlights Wendigo, a master hunter, and Qatil, an agile rogue.
Comic relief character Steve adds humor while remaining just as lethal on the battlefield.
Play to Airdrop Event with $15K Prize Pool
BloodLoop’s launch will also come with the Seasonal Leaderboard Tournament, a play to airdrop event with a growing prize pool.
The initial prize pool is set at $15,000. Players who purchase the Seasonal Leaderboard Pass, priced at $9.99 in $BLS (the game’s native token), will be eligible for rewards based on their performance. 75% of all pass revenue will be added to the prize pool. If 15,000 players bought the pass, the total rewards could reach around $130,000.
A player’s MMR will determine their ranking on the leaderboard, rising or falling based on their in-game performance. The game will gradually distribute rewards, reaching all the way down to the top 20% of participants.
Season 1 of BloodLoop on Epic Games will run for a month, focusing on “effort, improvement, and fair competition.” Future seasons will expand the gameplay loop with “bounty missions, dynamic rewards, and new incentive mechanics”. New content, including additional champions and skins, is already in the pipeline for upcoming months.
The launch trailer is now live, offering a cinematic look at the game’s gritty world and fast-paced action. It gives a first glimpse at the champion lineup and hints at the deeper conflict behind the fights. Players can wishlist BloodLoop on the Epic Games Store now and be ready to jump in on day one.
