Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the acclaimed 2019 Castlevania spiritual successor from Koji Igarashi and developer ArtPlay, is getting a sequel.
That’s according to a single, and only mildly informative, slide found within publisher 505 Games’ latest fiscal year financial results presentation (as spotted by Gematsu) – which, as well as noting that Bloodstained has now sold more than 1m copies, amassing over €30m in sales, confirms a “second version” is currently in development.
As Gematsu points out, “second version”, although a somewhat unusual turn of phrase in this context, appears throughout the presentation in conjunction with other properties that have confirmed sequels, such as One More Level’s action-parkour game Ghostrunner.
