Press release:
Milan (Italy), 9th May.
Publisher 505 Games and developer ArtPlay, Inc. today release a new update (v1.5) on PC, Xbox and PlayStation including two free game modes and a free Shantae cosmetic pack, plus three premium DLC cosmetic packs to their gothic smash “Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night“.
The update and the release of the three premium DLC cosmetic packs will follow on Nintendo Switch in the Americas and Europe on May 16th and Japan and Asia on May 20th.
The first new game mode, named ‘Chaos Mode’ sends players into a series of randomized rooms populated with demons, with difficulty ramping up the longer you survive, whilst ‘Versus Mode’ is a fast-paced PvP mode against another player in a fight for survival. Online functionality for “Chaos and Versus Mode” also allows players to participate in Co-Op and Multiplayer PVP.
The free Shantae cosmetic pack gives Miriam everything she needs to dress up as Shantae, everyone’s favourite Half-Genie Hero! The premium DLC Cosmetic Packs, available for purchase on the game’s Store page, include the vampiric ‘Succubus’ pack, a ‘Magical Girl’ pack, and the Japanese-inspired ‘Japanesque’ pack – each with a variety of weapons, costumes and accessories. If you buy all three of the DLC packs as the ‘Cosmetic Bundle’, you’ll receive the three packs for the price of two – now that’s magic!
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is available on PlayStation 5 + PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S + Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam | GOG. For more information about Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, please visit the game’s official website.
