505 Games and Artplay have announced that Koji Igarashi’s spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of The Night in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has crossed the one million units sold mark across PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. Not only that, the game’s next update, which includes the free “Boss Revenge Mode” and “Chroma Wheel” additions, will arrive on June 23 for PC, Xbox One and PS4, and for the Switch version in July.

On top of that, Artplay has unveiled the game’s roadmap through the rest of 2020, which includes the additional Chaos Mode and VS. Mode, Special Crossover Content and Classic Mode, and a new playable character.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
