Corpse Party: Blood Drive is a 2014 video game developed by Team GrisGris and 5pb. and published by 5pb. It was localized by XSEED and published for the PlayStation Vita in late 2015, digitally and physically. The game was also ported to the Nintendo Switch in 2019. It is the third game in the Corpse Party series, after Corpse Party and Corpse Party: Book of Shadows. Blood Drive takes place two months after the events of Book of Shadows, where Ayumi Shinozaki becomes severely ill from the effects of black magic.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Corpse Party: Blood Drive” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Corpse, Party and Blood provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q21190145. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014, 2015 and 2019.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
