With E3 2017 approaching, 505 Games has released a new Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night trailer packed with new enemies, weapons, abilities and more.
It shows the Bell Tower area in the game’s Church stage, with Bloodless, a vampiric mistress, acting as a boss encounter awaiting players at its end. There are also glimpses at stages that have previously been shown, for which it is hoped that you can see the visual changes that have been made to improve the gameplay experience.
After suffering a delay into 2018, it was soon announced that the Kickstarter project would no longer see release on Wii U – now set for Nintendo Switch, instead.
“During our Kickstarter campaign, the Wii U was at the height of its popularity, but the situation has drastically changed after the release of Nintendo Switch,” creator Koji ‘IGA’ Igarashi had explained.
“This change made it difficult to receive the necessary support from the hardware maker, which has led us to drop the Wii U development and shift the development to Nintendo Switch.
“We are very sorry that it has come to this after all your support, but we hope you will understand. We would like to respond by preparing options for our backers, such as moving your pledge to another version or requesting a refund if you don’t want any other version. We hope you will continue to support us.”
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will release on Nintendo Switch worldwide in 2018.
