How it got here
- 2026-06-06 Demo released
Messhof put a free demo on Steam and published the enemy design pitch alongside it: bats that flap freely, rats that cling to walls, satyrs that bounce. The arenas were already described as big hand-authored layouts rather than a structured level ladder.
- 2026-06-10 Rock Paper Shotgun preview
RPS framed the game as Vampire Survivors stretched over the skeleton of a platformer, and singled that out as what makes it different from the rest of the genre.
- 2026-06-15 GamingOnLinux preview
Second preview pass, same framing: platforming challenges crossed with auto-shooting.
- 2026-08-06 Release date announced
25 August confirmed publicly.
- 2026-08-24 PC Gamer review
Described the format precisely: move around a scrolling arena while your weapons auto-fire, and take one of two or three randomised perks on every level-up. Runs usually end in under ten minutes.
- 2026-08-25 Blood Dungeon 1.0 launches
Out on Steam, Xbox Series (including Game Pass), PS5, Switch and Switch 2 on the same day, at $9.99 with a 15% launch discount.
- 2026-08-26 GamingOnLinux review
Reviewed at launch; noted the end-of-run screen that draws the path you took through the arena.
- 2026-08-26 Hotfix
Memory leaks that could eventually crash the game, bugs with Powder Keg and Revivalist, leaderboard placement numbers getting cut off, Bone Shop powers not returning after a daily run, and more frequent saving.
- 2026-08-26 Hotfix 2
A second Revivalist fix, same day.
What comes next
Messhof has not published a roadmap. As of 30 August 2026 the Steam news feed carries nine items: two previews, three reviews, the demo announcement, the release date, the launch post and two hotfixes. There is no announced content plan, so this site does not have a roadmap page to fill.
That is worth stating plainly rather than filling with guesses: two hotfixes on launch week tell you Messhof is watching the game, but nothing published so far commits to new content.
