505 Games and Koji Igarashi’s ArtPlay, in association with developer WayForward, have delivered a free update to the popular gothic-horror side-scrolling action RPG Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A new trailer offers an exciting first look at Zangestu traversing and maneuvering through Gebel’s hellish castle:
The free update, also making its way to Nintendo Switch™ later this month, enables players to mix up their next playthrough of the award-winning game by playing as the katana wielding demon hunter Zangetsu. Players who successfully complete the game and receive the “Good Ending” can select Zangetsu as a character when starting a new game, enabling player use of the demon hunter’s full movement and combat abilities. When playing as Zangetsu, players will progress through the same campaign, encountering identical enemy and boss fights but will not use consumables, equipment, crafting, treasure chests or quests normally associated with the campaign as Miriam.
Also available in the free update is Randomizer mode. Using this mode, players can revise many different gameplay parameters in their future playthroughs of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. This means that various elements and locations will be shuffled, which will introduce new challenges and breathe new life into the experience for speed runners, streamers and any fan looking get a fresh take on Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. More details can be found on the game website.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is rated ‘T’ for Teen by ESRB.
