Today we have some great news for fans of the Bloodstained series, as renowned video game developer Koji Igarashi and Inti Creates have just announced that a sequel to Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is currently in development.
According to the announcement, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is being developed for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC(Steam), but we will have to keep waiting for the developers to give players an official release date for the game.
Not to be confused with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, as the Curse of the Moon games feature some 8-bit graphics that are heavily inspired by some of the Koji Igarashi-produced Castlevania series; particularly the Castlevania games that released for the NES in the mid to late 80s.
In Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, we still have Zangetsu as the main playable character, but as the story unfolds he will be gaining new playable allies; each with their unique set of skills that will allow them to use shortcuts, strategise how to manage their separate life bars in order to progress, and also add some variety to the game as a whole.
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 will also feature a bunch of episodes, although only the first one will be available when players begin their adventure. Completing them all will grant players access to the game'strue ending.
On top of this, the game is also giving players two gameplay styles(Veteran and Casual) in case they want to get a bigger challenge, or play through the game with relative ease; anyone who's played the first Castlevania games knows that this is a welcome addition.
Take a look:
Curse of the Moon 2 brings classic 2D action and a dark, 8-bit aesthetic together with modern playability. The multiple-scenario structure of the previous title returns with an epic new story supervised by IGA (Koji Igarashi) himself. Players take control of Zangetsu, a swordsman from the far east who bears a deep grudge against demonkind and the alchemists who summoned them. Zangetsu must battle his way to the demonic stronghold, but he doesn't have to do it alone!
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is currently in development for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC(Steam).
