BloodRayne 25th Anniversary Plans Include New Comic Series, Night Channels

Ziggurat Interactive has announced a new BloodRayne comic book series in partnership with Roditeli Productions, with a Kickstarter campaign scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027. The announcement comes alongside a limited-edition apparel collaboration with Night Channels and an update on BloodRayne: Definitive Collection.

The upcoming comic series will celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary in 2027. Kevin Roditeli will write the main comic, with artwork by BRÄO. Felipe Cagno will contribute additional stories. The creative team also includes Andy Lanning and Ant Williams, who will assist with the franchise’s lore, alongside letterer and designer Serge LaPointe and editor Chris Stevens.

The Kickstarter campaign’s pre-launch page is already available. Planned rewards include exclusive editions of the first issue, variant covers, and merchandise produced specifically for the anniversary campaign.

Alongside the comic announcement, Ziggurat has revealed its first merchandise collaboration, partnering with independent apparel label Night Channels for a limited-edition BloodRayne collection.

The lineup includes an embroidered logo hat, a boxy T-shirt with an oversized print, Japanese- and Russian-lettered shirts, a shirt and hoodie featuring the game’s title and loading artwork, and Brimstone Society sweatpants. The designs use artwork associated with the series, primarily in red, white, and black.

Ziggurat and Strictly Limited Games also provided an update on BloodRayne: Definitive Collection, which brings together BloodRayne: ReVamped, BloodRayne 2: ReVamped, and BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites.

All three games have received approval for the PlayStation 5 digital and physical releases and are ready for production. For Switch, performance updates for the first two games have been approved for the digital editions.

The physical edition’s patch for the original BloodRayne has also been certified, while the corresponding BloodRayne 2 patch remains under Nintendo’s certification review. The collection’s packaging artwork has been approved.

Alex Lotz, Managing Producer at Ziggurat Interactive, said the following:

Rayne has been slicing through the action horror genre since 2002, and her fans have stuck with her the whole way. Partnering with Roditeli Productions lets us give those fans something they’ve been asking for: new stories, told by a team that knows how to make a comic campaign special.

Kevin Roditeli, writer and Creative Director at Roditeli Productions, said the following:

Rayne is one of gaming’s great antiheroes that collectively influenced a generation. Her influence as a character is still resonating in games, films and comics to this date. We had no other choice but to bring her back to comics for the 25th anniversary of the franchise. She is a pop culture icon that deserves to be present in comics ongoingly, and that’s what we want to accomplish. She is back to stay!

Jed Hamilton, Creative Director at Night Channels, said the following:

We grew up with Rayne. She was goth, she was dangerous, and she never apologized for either. Getting to put more than two decades of BloodRayne on shirts, hoodies, and sweats is a dream collab for us, and we made every piece like fans, for fans.
