Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Would Come Out This Summer

After the game started as a Kickstarter project led by Koji Igarashi, the producer of Castlevania series, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, initially set for a release in 2017, is finally coming out this summer.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, popularly deemed as the spiritual successor of the Castlevania franchise, would be a role-playing game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo Switch. At the moment, only Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 confirmed the summer of 2019 as the release window for the title. However, we don’t have any reason to consider any delays in the launch of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night for Xbox One and PC.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been a successful Kickstarter project, surpassing its crowdfunding goals, but that did not help its devs launch the game faster. In fact, the people behind Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night faced many issues which led to several delays.

Besides, the team behind Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night also posted the official box art of the game on Twitter. “Bloodstained fans overwhelmingly asked for the official box art to be painted by #Artplay’s incredible Mana Ikeda (aka @Vusc). We thought that was a great idea, so here you go…Official Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night box art by Mana Ikeda,” Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night team said.
