Sharpen your fangs and flex those reflexes — Bloodthief, the blisteringly fast, parkour-fueled vampire action game, is back in the spotlight. Slashing its way into Steam Next Fest on June 9, 2025, the highly anticipated title is unleashing an extended demo packed with new content for fans to devour.
A Blood-Soaked Hit in the Making
If you’ve somehow missed the buzz, Bloodthief is the indie sensation developed by popular YouTuber Blargis, whose development videos have collectively racked up over 4 million views. With its mix of lightning-fast melee combat, gothic dungeon crawling, and stylish vampire abilities, the game has already cultivated a passionate speedrunning community—and it’s not even out yet.
Currently participating in Steam’s Zombies vs. Vampires Fest, Bloodthief is dripping with gothic charm and razor-sharp gameplay. Think Dishonored meets Mirror’s Edge, doused in blood and sprinting at full throttle.
What to Expect in the Steam Next Fest Demo
The original Bloodthief demo has been lauded for its depth, clocking in at about 1 hour to complete—or up to 20 hours for 100% completion thanks to its sprawling levels, hidden upgrades, and varied enemy encounters. But the upcoming extended demo, debuting exclusively during Steam Next Fest, cranks the bloodlust up to 11:
- A brand-new level full of treacherous enemies and hidden lore
- A new weapon for players to master
- Three secret artifacts to unlock powerful abilities and the new weapon
- Additional performance tweaks and community-requested features
Gameplay Highlights
In Bloodthief, you take on the role of a supernaturally agile vampire navigating cursed castles and ancient dungeons. Every fight is a deadly dance of blades and blood as you leap, dash, and wall-run across intricately designed levels.
Enemies don’t just drop loot—they drop lifeblood, which powers your abilities and fuels your vengeance. Whether you’re speedrunning a level or hunting down hidden relics, the game rewards creativity, aggression, and relentless momentum.
Multilingual and Global
The Bloodthief demo is available in nine languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese (BR), Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese—making it easy for a global audience to sink their teeth in.
Release Info and Where to Find More
Bloodthief is set to launch in 2025 on PC via Steam, but players eager to get a taste of its high-octane horror can dive into the extended demo starting June 9.
