‘Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night’ Sequel Reportedly in Development
Koji Igarashi churned out a delightful spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of The Night with 2019’s Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night. And after a sequel to the pixel-based spin-off in Curse of The Moon 2 last year, it looks as though we’ll be getting a proper sequel to Bloodstained.
In a Digital Bros. slideshow presentation for their Fiscal Year 2020 report (505 Games, the publisher of Bloodstained, is owned by Digital Bros.), a slide is devoted to Bloodstained‘s performance. Along with news that the Metroidvania generated over €30 million in revenue (and over 1 million copies sold), the slide states that a sequel is currently in development.
Obviously, not much to go on, but it’s safe to say that Igarashi won’t be having to resort to Kickstarter this time to fund the development of Bloodstained 2.
Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night (check out our review here) is available on PC via Steam and GOG, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
