Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night launches worldwide today, June 18, 2019.
The PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC versions release simultaneously, with the Nintendo Switch version following on June 25. In Japan the Steam version leads, with Japanese subtitles and voice acting.
About the game
Ritual of the Night is an exploration-heavy side-scrolling action RPG: every element of the “Metroidvania” genre, packed into one game.
Her name is Miriam, an orphan scarred by an alchemist’s curse that slowly crystallizes her body. To save herself and all of humanity, she fights through a castle full of demons summoned by Gebel.
Highlights
- Thirteen free DLC updates planned, starting with the “Speed Demon” update at launch: Speed Run mode, Boss Rush mode and the Pure Miriam outfit.
- Tight, satisfying gameplay and a gothic dark fantasy story from Koji Igarashi, the creator fans call the god of “Igavania”.
- Fully voiced cutscenes and NPC interactions with a cast including David Hayter, Ray Chase and Erica Lindbeck.
- Three playable characters in total, with two more to be revealed.
- Countless weapons and spells, every one of them upgradable, levelable and customizable.
- Beautiful 2.5D graphics: detailed 3D models in a 2D world, allowing tricks that plain 2D never could.
