Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a spiritual successor to the much-loved though historically poor-selling Castlevania series. Released back in 2019 following a successful Kickstarter campaign, the series’ creator has now announced a bunch of updates, alongside the fact that Ritual of the Night has sold over 2 million copies.

Taking to Kickstarter to make the announcement, Koji Igarashi – the mind behind the Castlevania series as well as Bloodstained – said “we are honored to announce that Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has sold two million copies since its launch in June 2019!”

They continued, “This is due to all the support we have received from everyone. We would like to sincerely thank you so much. This entire project has been a labor of love for everyone involved. We appreciate all of the support you have given us since the initial Kickstarter announcement. We have much more to do and we look forward to sharing it all with you!”

Speaking of, the team showed off the next update set to arrive to RotN: The Chaos and VS modes – though stated that more in-depth information will be shared next week on the 14th of September.

With 2 million copies sold, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has officially outsold all previous Castlevania games, with Castlevania: Lords of the Shadow coming closest with 1.75 million copies. It will be interesting to see what Igarashi and the team have planned for the future of the franchise following the conclusion of RotN’s DLC.

Humble Bundles are a great way for video game fans to get their hands on a number of high-quality games for a relatively low price. Available for the next three weeks is Humble’s “must-play metroidvanias” bundle, featuring the likes of Hollow Knight, Blasphemous and more.

The bundle – which is available from now until the 22nd of June – is only being offered in one form: a single payment of £12.05 or more. Typically, these bundles allow you to gain an increasing number of titles for an increasing price. That said, paying £12.05 will net you:

  • Hollow Knight
  • Rain World
  • Blasphemous
  • Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
  • Lost Ruins
  • Lone Fungus
  • Haiku, the Robot
  • Zapling Bygone 50% off coupon
  • Rain World: Downpour 20% off coupon

Hollow Knight alone typically retails for roughly £12 and so to obtain it and half a dozen extra titles for the same price is a great deal indeed – especially as it includes other much-loved metroidvanias such as the hardcore ‘Blasphemous’ as well as ‘Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night’ – the latest entry in the genre from Castlevania legend Koji Igarashi.

As always, a small portion of the proceedings from Humble Bundles go to charity, with this bundle supporting Girls Who Code: “a nonprofit organization, was founded in 2012 to encourage more young women to complete a college-level computer science education and gain skills to further enhance their employability.”

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon started its life as a stretch goal for BloodStained: Ritual of the Night’s Kickstarter campaign. The stretch goal was hit, and the 8-bit Castlevania-inspired platformer was released in 2018 to great success. Now, it’s been announced that Curse of the Moon is getting a sequel, and it’s said to be “coming soon.”

The New Game+ Expo stream took place last night and featured a number of announcements from publishers including SEGA, SNK Corporation, and Idea Factory Int. One other publisher present was Inti Creates – the studio behind 2018’s Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon.

Announced by Koji (IGA) Igarashi, the producer for both Curse of the Moon and Ritual of the Night, informed fans that they would be seeing more from the world of Bloodstained, saying “we were so happy to see how much fans enjoyed [Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon] and for that, a decision to make a sequel quickly followed suit.”

Following the introduction by IGA, was a trailer detailing what fans can expect from the sequel. Though much of what made Curse of the Moon great will be returning – including the game’s striking 8-bit art style – there will be new ways to play thanks to “three brand-new playable characters appear[ing] in Curse of the Moon 2, including the exorcist Dominique”. Each character is said to add “a variety of gameplay options, abilities, and ways to complete the game’s many stages.”

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 will be “Coming Soon” to PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
