An Xbox 360 game that was scrapped back in 2010 has finally seen the light of day some 15 years later. Since the turn of the century, there have been numerous games that were announced that ended up being canceled for one reason or another. Some of these games would go on to be reworked and later re-released in a new manner, while others have remained in the grave, never to be heard from again. Now, one Xbox 360 game that was thought to be lost long ago has finally come back with a new release on modern platforms.

As of today, May 6th, Captain Blood has been released across PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms. First unveiled all the way back in 2004, Captain Blood was once in development for the original Xbox at publisher 1C Company. Work on the project ended up stalling and changing hands, though, which led to its development being rebooted multiple times over. Eventually, Captain Blood ended up shifting from Xbox to Xbox 360 and was still in the works up until 2010. Somewhere around this time, though, the project fell apart once again, this time, what seemed to be for good.
Now, some 15 years later, Captain Blood is finally getting its widespread release. Thanks to a partnership between the original developer SeaWolf Studio and General Arcade, Captain Blood has been revitalized. Despite releasing in 2025, Captain Blood retains many of the throwback gameplay stylings that were associated with games from the early 2000s. As such, this is a title that many old-school fans of games from the Xbox 360 era might want to check out for themselves.
