For all games that come from crowdfunding, including those from legendary Creators, it always feels like something of a mixed bag. Some land and some don’t, but Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night landed for fans of classic Castlevania, and even got a second 8-bit spin-off with Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2. The game has been updated well, and now it’s time for more, including a new style that will push those looking for a challenge.

The new update that brings the game to version 1.3.0 has a few bug fixes, but the star of the show is the Legend style added. It’s a brutal new difficulty where enemies respawn from off screen and one character dying means all your available characters die. It’s not recommended for noobies and sounds like it’ll test even veterans.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. The latest update is available now across all platforms.

Inti Creates’ Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is out today for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch. Though it’s a larger game with multiple playable characters than its predecessors, there’s even more content on the way. The developer confirmed that update 1.2.0 would release on July 16th and adds Bosh Rush Mode.

You’ll need to complete “certain in-game conditions” to unlock it but afterwards, it can be accessed from the title screen. The update will also include various bug fixes. More detailed patch notes can be expected in the next week so stay tuned.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 embodies the same 8-bit, Castlevania-esque gameplay as its predecessor. Zangetsu returns and this time, he’s joined by three new playable characters including Dominique from Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Players can swap between these characters at any time, using their abilities to progress in different ways. Two-player local co-op will also be available at launch for even more intriguing possibilities.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 was perhaps the best surprise performance to come out of the recent New Game + Expo, with Inti Creates confirming that they’d be releasing a sequel to their indie throwback Bloodstained offshoot. Now, they’ve released a new trailer for the game, dropping plenty of new details.

The trailer confirms that Alfred, Gebel, and Miriam among the playable characters featured. If you’ve played Ritual of the Night and the first Curse of the Moon, you will, of course, be familiar with them. The game will feature two player co-op, with the trailer’s YouTube description stating players will be able to “combine the abilities of different characters and create a near limitless amount of new ways to traverse stages and defeat tough bosses.”

The trailer also confirms that the game is out in just a few days. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon releases for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on July 10.

Remember Inti Creates’ retro throwback Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon? Well, it’s getting a sequel in the form of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2. Announced at New Game+ Expo, the sequel will be released for Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. A release date has yet to be announced.

Zangetsu is the protagonist once more, and he’s still hunting down demons. This time, there are three new playable characters that will aid in his journey, including Dominique the Exorcist from Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Each new character has different abilities and tools, adding more replay value to the game.

They can also access different areas and shortcuts, making for an easier experience (if the player so chooses). A nice little twist is that each new recruited ally can be switched at any time during the game, and they each have their own health. Series creator Koji Igarashi is working with Inti Creates, supervising the new story, and though it has no release date yet, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
