Relive the golden age of arcade sports gaming with Super Blood Hockey, a violent homage to classic 8-bit and 16-bit ice hockey games.

Arcade sports gaming gets a shot of adrenaline in Super Blood Hockey, a violent homage to classic 8- and 16-bit ice hockey games. Customize your line-up and take to the ice, using fast-paced skills and bone-crunching brutality to dominate.

Prove your hockey prowess in a deadly global tournament or against friends in 4-player local multiplayer. Build and manage your own squad in Franchise Mode – with the right diet and performance enhancing drugs your team can be season champions!

Already available on Steam, the Super Blood Hockey console versions will include an all-new Franchise Mode that puts players in the shoes of a corrupt coach as they recruit players from prison, utilize performance-enhancing drugs, pull the plug on injured teammates, and use other underhanded tactics to succeed.

Super Blood Hockey is a love letter to the 8-bit and 16-bit ice hockey video games of my childhood, back when high action gameplay reigned supreme,” explains the game’s creator, Loren Lemcke. “Players can expect a modern reinterpretation of the classic arcade sports experience with the blood and violence dialled up to eleven.”

Key Features

  • Use superior skating, positioning, strategy and blood-splattering violence
  • Take on the world in a global tournament, where failure results in execution
  • Varied challenges and scenarios, including Turbo Mode and 12 vs 12 Mega Rumble
  • Paint the ice with the blood of your friends in 4-player local multiplayer
  • Franchise Mode: Create, recruit and manage your own custom team of inmates in a futuristic world of dystopic blood sports
  • Enjoy the retro beats of an original soundtrack by chiptunist Shawn Daley

Super Blood Hockey will be launching for Nintendo Switch on a still-to-be-confirmed date in April, while the PS4 and Xbox versions will follow sometime in Q2 2019.
