Game Overview:
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a 2D side scrolling metroidvania action adventure platformer that is being made in the style of classic Castlevania games, and is in fact being touted as a spiritual successor to the series.
Development of the game is being headed up by Koji Igarashi, who used to be the series producer of Castlevania. Funding for the game was provided through a Kickstarter campaign, and for a time it was the most highly funded video game project on the site.
Version 1.5 will also be available for Nintendo Switch players on May 16th, adding the co-op Chaos and PvP-focused Versus modes.
Also joining the service's library are Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Train Sim World 4, Return to Grace, and More.
