Vampire hotel simulation game announced.
While the game was originally looking at a potential Early Access release in 2026, additional funding from the game’s publisher has allowed it to push into 2027 with a full release at launch.
Here is the full message from Unfold Games on the release window announcement:
Greetings, fellow Vampires!
Our new gameplay trailer is here, and with it, confirmation that Bloody Hell Hotel is coming in 2027. I know that after all these years of waiting, a delay will be super disappointing—I think it’s more than fair, and I’d like to explain exactly what led to this decision.
But first, I encourage you to simply enjoy the trailer! We took a pretty…ehm, unconventional approach with the audio—I don’t think you’ve heard anything quite like it in a game trailer before. Almost all of the footage is pure gameplay (often sped up to match the “music”), with a few in-engine montages to show off furnishing and coffin upgrades.
OK, let’s switch off the corporate tone for a moment. I’m the game director of Bloody Hell Hotel, and I wanted to tell you personally how we ended up here. No carefully crafted PR language—just context for those who are interested.
When I first announced the game in 2022, it was already ambitious, but nowhere near what it has become today. Your feedback was pretty clear: you wanted a bigger game, with more features, more freedom, and more things to do. And so did I!
The problem was… monies. Bloody Hell Hotel was entirely self-funded from my first game, DARQ, and expanding the scope further didn’t even seem possible. But I decided to take the leap anyway—after all, I had only three months of savings when I started working on DARQ, so it’s not exactly the first time I’ve done something crazy. I wasn’t making this game to grow a studio or build a business—that is not to say that I don’t like monies—I like monies muchly. It just wasn’t the main motivation. I just wanted to make something bloody
