Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was shown at BitSummit 7 Spirits, the indie game festival held in Kyoto in June 2019. Gematsu published an interview with Koji Igarashi recorded at the show.
He talks about the depth of the Shard and alchemy systems, bosses designed around abilities that open up the map, difficulty made more approachable through Shards, a generous first playthrough with additional characters and modes to follow, and his wish to take Bloodstained beyond games.
