Blood Wake is a naval combat video game that was released in 2001 on the Xbox as part of Microsoft's initial wave of Xbox launch titles. The game was developed by Stormfront Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios.
Set in an Asian-themed fictional world, Blood Wake is a mission-based high seas action game in which the player controls a series of small fighting vessels. Some reviewers described its gameplay as "Twisted Metal on water," although its mission-based story line differentiated Blood Wake from Twisted Metal's arena-based gameplay.
The game features many water craft and many still weapon types, some unique to a certain type of boat. Complete with power-ups and multiplayer.
The game was not literally an Xbox launch title, since its debut was held by Microsoft's Marketing team for a second wave of game releases thirty days after the first launch. Microsoft backed Blood Wake with a television advertising campaign on release, and it reached the #4 position on the NPD sales charts in early 2002, and later that year was the #1 game on the NPD Xbox game rental rankings.
