Bloodcrave Roadmap Outlines Months of Post-Launch Story Expansions

Bloodcrave has launched, and developer Blue Fiend has wasted little time laying out what comes next. A community announcement published on August 15, 2026 maps out a wave of narrative content across several release windows.

What's planned

Immediately (the day after the announcement):

  • An expanded Nova scene and new animations for existing scenes

The following week:

  • Kayden's Finale scene (submissive route)
  • Kayden's Part 2 and Finale (dominant route)
  • Rebecca's Finale (dominant route)

Later in August:

  • Extra finale scenes with every love interest

September:

  • An expanded Oliver's route
  • A new scene with Amelia in the Twins route

Early October:

  • Post-credits epilogue scenes

Early next year:

  • Two new main romances: Cole and Amy

Blue Fiend also notes that additional bonus scenes are in the pipeline but are not yet ready to be discussed in detail.

For players who have already completed the game, the roadmap suggests that most of the current major routes will receive meaningful conclusions before the end of October, with the larger additions to the romance roster arriving sometime in the following year.
