What to expect for 2026: (Patreon)

Alright folks and fans, here are some changes that will be occurring in 2026. First off-> I'm going to officially introduce a bunch of new alternate outfits for the fighters- female first, then male. Some of you may have already seen some of them, i.e. Deringer's non-leotard camo outfit, Gisela's 1980's style gym outfit, Darian's full-fatigue/beard look, Seon Mi's club/punk outfit, Rukhsana's Middle Eastern outfit. You will also see the following:

Tamora in a 1990's skinhead/punk outfit that is canonical to the Origins story. Ming Hua in traditional Chinese attire. Eviscerator with a hood & chainmail. Yamoja with a tribal skirt and death mask. Nightmare's O.G. skullmask outfit will be improved. Nightmare as a whole will be retextured. Phaedra will have a new alternate outfit from scratch. Ghoul will have a Immortals-esque masked outfit. Gennadiy will have Russian fatigues and an ushanka. Harrison's boxer outfit will return. Abayon will have street-thug wear, a leather jacket. Bruiser will have a shirtless version. Akira will have a suited "hitman" version. Stalker will be back with an improved "ninja" alternate. Aygun will have her college schoolgirl style outfit. Atzi will have a blood priestess outfit (essentially covered in blood and tribal markings). Nancy will have an "N'Drangheta" version that looks more like old-school Calabrian mafia women.

These alternate outfits will expand the aesthetic but also correspond to some of the book's canon. The more edgy/provocative outfits will stay because that drives engagement and Bloodblade is very much about bringing back that old-school, hot fighting game aesthetic and pushing the envelope. And exclusive, stylized content will continue to be available on Patreon. But as I'm further expanding the universe with books, a graphic novel series and have officially trademarked and copyrighted the series, I'm looking to steer away from it being typecasted as DA niche content and more into what it was meant to be, a big-picture fighting game universe.

What else:

Phaedra vs Nightmare (will be released in a couple days)

Seon Mi vs. Gisela (early January)

Darian vs. Eviscerator (early January)

And more afterward. Continued Render Pack drops, probably a finisher theater or two. And I'm now 40% through writing Ruin.

In the mean time I'm asking followers to be so kind as to write reviews for Carnage and Reckoning on Goodreads and Amazon! Here's my Goodreads page:
