We are proud to announce Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement, a new 2.5D side-scrolling action RPG from ArtPlay creative director SHUTARO and producer IGA.
Set in the iconic gothic world established by Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the newest entry in the series delivers denser gameplay and a richer story than ever before.
Story
Sixteenth-century England. A monster-infested “Ethereal Castle” preys on the people, who live in terror as sacrifices. Expedition after expedition has been sent against it and every one has failed, yet the people refuse to give up, and when another chance arrives they send one more.
This expedition too seems to end in failure, until Leonard, a young warrior of the Black Wolf Order, meets Alexander, the last surviving knight of the White Stag. Together they search the castle for the Magic Reliquary said to be the key to defeating the Demon Lord.
Elias is guarded by six Demon Dukes, powerful vampires each with unique abilities. To reach him, Leo and Alex must defeat them all.
A beautiful, terrible darkness
The Ethereal Castle is the largest map in the series: majestic gothic architecture, caverns wrapped in darkness and traps of every kind. Explore every corner to find powerful gear and items, craft equipment from gathered materials, and outfit both heroes freely; weapons and armor change how they look.
Two heroes, one fight
Switch freely between Leo and Alex: one under your direct control, the other fighting alongside you automatically, swapped instantly with a single button. Mastering their teamwork is the key to overcoming what lies ahead.
Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement is coming to PC (Steam / Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. More news to come.
