The next game from the director of Blood West is a frozen survival shooter where you scratch a living off the decaying corpse of a god

The player, wielding a curved blade, stands in an icy campsite flecked with blood. Fellow tribesmen wearing metal masks wander around the camp centre.

Blood West is one of the better indie shooters to emerge in recent years, a dark Western spin on Stalker in which you roam dusty Badlands fighting eldritch horrors. The game's been well supported since its release in 2023, too, with developer Hyperstrange releasing a bunch of expansions, including the recent roguelike themed Scavengers DLC.

Yet while Hyperstrange continued to support Blood West, the game's director has been busy working on a new project. That was revealed earlier this week as Bloodwoven, and it looks to be something of a spiritual successor to Blood West, albeit much, much weirder.
