Patch Notes

Blood West v4.2.0

Howdy y'all.

We're back again with another update for Blood West (+ Dead Man's Promise)

Some really nice quality of life improvements for v4.2.0 in here

So roll one up and have a gander!



Version: 4.2.0
Date: 02.25.2025

Improvements:

  • Artwork for every codex entry - yes, that’s right. You enjoyed having drawings for new monsters in Dead Man’s Promise so much we decided to update every single codex note in the game!
  • Level up icon will now hide automatically when the traits screen is visited
  • Information on the top of the screen will no longer pop up on top of each other
  • The item wheel (~) got a new coat of paint!
  • Chapter 2: Story spoiler! The Undead will now be more open about his actions toward another NPC
  • Chapter 2: Boss now moves faster when enraged (rawr)
  • Chapter 2: Priest location at the Fort should be easier to find now.
    • (Just listen for somebody coughing their lungs out)
  • Chapter 2: Cinematic intro is now voiced by The Shaman (Redd Pepper himself)
    • (Further tying the story of this chapter and Dead Man’s Promise together)
  • Main menu now shows if you have Dead Man's Promise installed.
  • Settings menu has been reorganized into tabs to help you find the thing you’re looking for faster!
  • Explosion from Dynamite now attracts enemies. Be careful with those sticks!
  • Quick slot UI is now stacked vertically by default.
    • (Can be changed back to horizontal in the Settings menu) (Also looks great in Ultrawide)
  • Optimization that should slightly improve RAM usage
  • Painting Cutter is no longer tradeable (don't wanna miss any cool secrets)
  • A handful of small visual improvements and glitches fixed as well
Bug fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where, under specific circumstances, it would be impossible to save a game if the save name contained special characters. This fix will also make sure no new saves with special characters can be created anymore.
  • Fixed an issue where music would stop playing when fighting the Chapter 3 boss
  • Fixed an issue where the Emerald Eyes weapon would stop giving better prices after Save & Load
  • Fixed an issue where the Chapter 1 boss wouldn’t take damage from specific weapons
  • Fixed sound issues related to spears
  • Fixed an issue where Death Stalkers spawned via Music Box could respawn like a normal enemy
  • Fixed a visual bug where flames would remain in the player’s hand after lighting up a Molotov or Dynamite
  • Eliminated few smaller, controller related bugs

So what's next on the agenda?


  • Achievements are coming to Dead Man's Promise!
  • A bestiary! (gotta make good use of all that codex art!)
  • Steam Deck verification!
  • New items, quests and artifacts!
  • Work on our second big DLC!
  • Annabelle romance sub plot! (you wish)
And don't forget to tell a good buddy that Blood West and Dead Man's Promise
are part of the New Blood Anniversary Sale this week!
