The Depra team from the CIS has unveiled the first teaser for their hardcore project BLEEDING — an arena shooter where your cybernetically modified body defines your combat style. The game is set to release in 2026.

Prepare for brutal and lightning-fast battles. On September 9, 2025, the Depra studio released the debut teaser of their experimental shooter BLEEDING, which promises to breathe new life into the arena FPS genre. The video focuses on the unique visual style and dark atmosphere of the game, with key gameplay mechanics set to be revealed later.

An Idea at the Crossroads of Genres

BLEEDING is a single-player shooter that takes the insane dynamics of classic arenas reminiscent of Doom and Quake, and combines them with a deep customization system akin to modern indie hits like Ultrakill and Deadlink.

Your body is your arsenal

A key feature of the game is the cybernetic implant system. You don't just find new guns; you radically change your fighter by replacing limbs with deadly upgrades. Each such replacement not only alters your appearance but also changes your entire gameplay style.

  • Want to be a speedy killer? Install implants for mobility.

  • Prefer to crush with aggression? Integrate direct-attacking weapons.

  • Love to control the battlefield? Choose tactical and defensive modules.

The outcome of each battle will depend on how well you select your combination of implants and how effectively you use them in combat.

The arena as part of the fight

The action of the game takes place in a dark world of technocratic totalitarianism. Monumental arenas, inspired by the architecture of brutalism and Stalinist empire, are not just decorations. They become an active part of the gameplay, dictating tactics and encouraging experimentation with the environment.

Key features of BLEEDING:

  • Deep customization: Create unique combinations of implants that change your combat style and appearance.

  • Speed and dynamics: Pure gameplay of classic arena shooters.

  • Unique visuals: Hand-drawn style at the intersection of brutalism and techno-fetishism.

  • Interactive arenas: Use the surroundings as a weapon for victory.

The first teaser of BLEEDING is already available for viewing. The game itself will be released on PC (Steam) in 2026. To follow the development, you can add the project to your Steam wishlist https://store.steampowered.com/app/3844800/BLEEDING/
