Rayne’s back in Bloodrayne: Betrayal, coming this summer to PSN and XBL

Majesco has announced that scantily clad dhampir Rayne will return to consoles this summer in the digital download title Bloodrayne: Betrayal.

Slated for release on PSN and XBL, WayForward is developing the game, which sees our heroine fighting out in 2D side-scrolling action with a deadly dose of bloodshed.

In the game, Rayne has been recruited by the vampire hunting Brimstone Society for one final mission, where she teams up with mysterious new person to thwart a vampire massacre. Puzzles, an arsenal of weapons along with new characters and emeries will be on hand, specifically designed for mature audiences.

“It’s been a long time since Rayne captivated players with her bold mix of brutality and beauty, and fans have been hounding us to release another BloodRayne installment,” said Jesse Sutton, CEO of Majesco Entertainment.

“We are excited to once again partner with the creative and committed team at WayForward to bring Rayne back. BloodRayne: Betrayal delivers the action-packed experience franchise fans have been waiting for in a digital format that’s also accessible for new players unfamiliar with Rayne’s over-the-top, stylized gameplay.”

There’s a teaser site up at the moment, with not much else other than music and a silhouette of the vixen for the time being.

Terrible, embarrassing franchise that never deserved its original success and should stay dead.

I never played the original games because they looked awful but I’m tentatively hopeful about this.

If this is going to be 2D then WayForward seem like a good choice, and whilst it’s not much to go on the very camp, Castlevania-esque music backing the website could mean good things for the tone.

Of course any good will might be eradicated the second we actually see the game, but as of right now I’m not going to write it off.

2D side-scrolling ”sigh”
Blood Rayne 2 was actually very good game for that time.There were lot of fatality and powers to use including pistol on blood!
