Jacob St-Amour from Link-Cable Writes: “It seems as though as Mr. Koji Igarashis newest project in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been in the development for as long as we can remember. Four years to be exact since he and his team started the Kickstarter campaign to bring a new age to the Metroidvania genre, but our long wait is almost over as this 2D Castlevania-ect project is set to release this summer. While there is still that is left unknown and many questions left unanswered regarding this new title, there seems to be little doubt that Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night wouldnt be a worthy spiritual successor to the Castlevania games of the past.”
