Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is an upcoming video game lead by former Castlevania series producer Koji Igarashi, with developmental assistance from Inti Creates. The game is a spiritual successor to the Castlevania series, and is expected to be released on June 18, 2019.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a gothic, exploration-focused action platformer, designed by one of the godfathers of the genre! Bloodstained's story unfolds as you explore Gebel's hellish castle; a sprawling structure that features a variety of locations. As you explore the massive castle you'll find warp gates that will allow you to travel quickly without having to backtrack too much. You are Miriam, an orphan scarred by an alchemist curse which slowly crystallizes your skin. You must battle your way through a demon-filled castle summoned by Gebel, your old friend whose body has become more crystal than flesh.

It's not an Igavania without leveling, and Bloodstained will be no exception. In addition to the classic elements everyone's come to expect, enemies in Bloodstained will drop a wide variety of items, materials, and magi-crystals necessary to create the items that will get you safely through Gebel's castle.
