It's been a few years since WayForward helped revive the BloodRayne franchise with the 2D platformer BloodRayne: Betrayal. The game originally released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but a PC port is now on the way, courtesy of developer Abstraction Games. In fact, the game is set to arrive next week.

The release date comes from the Steam listing (via RPS) that surfaced earlier this week. The game features 15 levels of combo-heavy hack-and-slash action. It received some decidedly mixed reviews from several outlets.

BloodRayne: Betrayal hits Steam on April 30. For more, check out the Japanese trailer below.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

  I do like Wayforward, but Bloodrayne still stands as the poster child of most bankrupt idea in games of that era.
  
  Sadly it was was only a sign of things to come, but between this and duke nukem; it's really a black mark on the industry and should never be mentioned again.

  Huh I know some people who are crazy about Bloodrayne. I might check this out for that reason alone.

  I do like the Bloodrayne character; it just needs to be done right.
