In the latest trailer released by 505 Games and Artplay, we finally get the release date for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night bringing Igavania back this June.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Gets Release Date
Its been a few years sinceBloodstained: Ritual of the Nightwas successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter back in 2015, putting the action side-scrolling RPG into motion under theCastlevaniadirector Koji Igarashi.
The latest trailer reveals the process that the title has gone through, even showing comparisons since its inception with what it will look like upon release. The game was met with some negative feedback initially, which motivated the developers to rethink their game style visually, striving to do better. While other developers may have simply ignored the feedback and put out the game, it seems the developers are using this as a highlight for their comical release trailer. We even see a comparison between the old and new Veparboss.
The official description from the video for the game:
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a gothic horror action side-scrolling RPG set in 18th century England. A paranormal force has summoned a demon-infested castle threatening the entire world. Play as Miriam, an orphan scarred by an alchemist’s curse which slowly crystallizes her body. To save humanity, and herself in the process, Miriam must fight through the castle and defeat the summoner, Gebel.
We got a peek a couple of months ago in theirprevious trailershowing the crafting system which allows players to createweaponsfrom materials you loot or items you dismantle. It also previewed some of theenemieswhich included a mixture between mythical creatures, fantasy meets reality including a giant dog head or even a huge cat-like creature with horns that swipes at you. To say the least, the visuals are rather trippy with some challenging enemies to best.
It was at the end of last year when it was announcedthat there wouldn’t be continuing support for Linux or Mac. Those who had backed the game through the original Kickstarter campaign could contact the developer to change their platform. This was a similar situation with the previousVita version which also was cancelled.
