News What Year Is It? Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Summons Journey Crossover
Didn't see that coming

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the Castlevania-inspired gothic adventure, is getting a Journey-themed crossover on 23rd August, 2022. To be clear, that’s the emotional indie game from thatgamecompany, and not the Don’t Stop Believin’ band...

Visuals of the night
We've not seen much of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night for a little while, and it seems for good reason.

News Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Whipped Up for Summer
Symphony of the night
It’s got to be better than Mighty No. 9, right?

News Kickstarter Star Bloodstained Is Apparently Only 20 to 30 Per Cent Complete
Bloody hell
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was a smash hit over on Kickstarter when it was first revealed back in 2015.

And what we have actually seen of it hasn't looked especially polished, either. The game's...
News Here's 30 Seconds of Bloodstained to Tide You Backers Over
Great?
These high-profile Kickstarter games have been a bit of a disaster, haven't they? We mean, first there was Mighty No. 9, which is currently bathing in the PlayStation Store's bargain bin juice. Then there was Shenmue III, which is still relying on Photoshopped images of protagonist Ryo Hazuki face. And finally there was Bloodstained, the one...

It's already looking alright, with a PC build on the E3 2016 show floor this week. The exploration looks suitably Metroidvania-esque as...

News Mega64 Teams Up With Bloodstained's Koji Igarashi in Order to Kill a Vampire
Fangs for the memories
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a crowd funded title from former Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi. It isn't due out until 2017, but comedy group Mega64's jumped the gun and got Igarashi in on some good old fashioned vampire hunting all the same. The gang's newest video's obviously got some serious undertones to it, but...
