Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night release date set

Publisher 505 Games has announced that the gothic horror side-scrolling action RPG Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will be released on Tuesday, June 18.

Bloodstained is set in 18th century England – a paranormal force has summoned a demon-infested castle, revealing crystal shards infused with tremendous magical power. Players take on the role of Miriam, an orphan scarred by an alchemist curse which slowly crystallizes her body. To save humanity and herself, Miriam must fight through the castle while collecting, crafting and unlocking a vast array of weapons, equipment and loot to defeat the summoner Gebel and the countless minions and bosses of hell that await.

Koji Igarashi, one of the renowned creators of the genre, is creating this experience that promises to satisfy longtime fans of his previous work.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will be released on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on June 18, with the Switch version to follow on June 25.
