Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night News

Hello, Army of the Night!

We mentioned in our last announcement that we are tackling some technical issues that have slowed down our production timetable. We regret the long delay between updates and continue to ask for your patience as we make progress.
Due to these issues, we do not have a release timeframe for you yet, but we would like to share some information on what we have in the works.

Our next update will introduce a new playable character to the game. This is a change from our previously released roadmap.
We can confirm that this new character is NOT from the world of Bloodstained. We have been working closely with a well-known partner to bring their character (and a friend) into the game.

As with previous characters, you will be able to explore the entire map, though certain abilities will need to be acquired before some areas and bosses can be accessed. Along the way you will be able to increase the rank and class of the character’s special ability to grow in power.

We are excited to bring this update to you and will have a full announcement when it is closer to launch.
As previously mentioned, after the playable character is live, we expect the next update to include Chaos Mode with co-op and Vs Mode with multiplayer.

Once again, that you for your understanding and thank you for being fans of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night!

We've had a longer than expected gap since the release of Classic Mode and the Kingdom: Two Crowns crossover in January, so we wanted to give a brief update on the current state of the game.

Despite the lack of news, development on new content for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been ongoing. However, due to major technical issues that occurred in the beginning of the year, our progress has been greatly delayed. We currently are working on creating new content along with resolving these issues and are finally getting close to announcing the next content.

The next update is coming soon. More details on this update and its features will be revealed in October. Once that update has been released, Chaos Mode with Co-Op and Vs Mode with multiplayer will be next. Both of these modes are already well into development.

We are excited to bring this new content and more to you as soon as they are ready. We will share more information with everyone as we get closer to release.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to add to and improve Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night!

It’s been quite the journey to get here, so we’re taking a moment to stop and reflect. Since 2006, 505 Games has published and distributed well over 200 games, including the likes of Cooking Mama, Terraria, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Control, Assetto Corsa, DEATH STRANDING on PC and many more. We’ve had the privilege to publish titles across all major platforms of the last 15 years, starting with the likes of the PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS and Xbox 360 all the way up to today’s major consoles, PC and streaming services.

As a team, we’ve grown significantly over the years, but remain relatively small compared to other publishers out there. And that’s how we like it! 505 Games started off as a team of 3 here in the UK but has since grown to a team of 250 worldwide, across California, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, China and Japan.

We’ve had the honour to work with so many incredible developers and co-publishers over the years and we wouldn’t be here doing what we do without them. So, we’d like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you, from everyone at 505 Games!
