2026's Bloodiest Game Just Got a Release Date

On December 4, 2026, the martial arts beat-em-up game Acts of Blood will be released for Windows PC. The developer, Eksil Team, previously announced the game's release for PC, but has now confirmed its availability on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in 2027. Fans can currently experience a taste of the game's brutal combat in its demo on Steam, which has received over 1,500 Very Positive player reviews praising its weighty combat, simple yet meaningful combos, and impressive visuals.

The game is set to immerse players in the revenge story of Hendra, as he seeks vengeance for his family's murder. With a focus on brutal martial arts combat, including strikes, counters, finishers, and environmental interactions, Acts of Blood aims to deliver a raw and violent experience. Developer Fajrul FN, who started the project as a solo endeavor, has since built a small indie team to bring the game to life.

The game's developers have been transparent about their commitment to unapologetic violence, promising brutal takedowns, dismemberment, and even x-ray kills for players who crave the intensity of action movies like The Raid and Mortal Kombat.
