Moonana

Moonana is developing its debut game, the 2D action title 'Bathory - Heritage of Blood,' with a planned 2027 PC release and confirmed Japanese language support.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Jun 16

Moonana, a UK-based developer, announced its first project in June 2026: the 2D action game 'Bathory - Heritage of Blood.' The game follows vampire princess Ursula Bathory as she returns to reclaim the Blood Throne from her mother, Regent Queen Elizabeth Bathory. The combat system consumes the player's life force for attacks but restores it through enemy blood, a risk-reward mechanic the developer has described as central to the experience.

Two weeks after the initial announcement, Moonana revealed that the game's Steam page had been updated to include Japanese language support. The addition signals a broader intended market for a title that openly draws inspiration from Castlevania and Gothic literature. The game is planned for a 2027 release on PC.

No further details about Moonana's team size, funding, or other projects have been disclosed. The studio's output currently consists of this single announced title.
