I've seen/heard more in passing through Discord etc than most of the forum regulars who don't use other outlets, so to pass on what the current situation with things is, please see the following -
So here's the deal - Zangetsu is/has been finished for some time now, he was even showed off late last year in China at a show. The holdup is getting him finished on *all* platforms so it can be released simultaneously - this is why recently the announcement made a big deal on things being in "content parity". Moving forward, they want everything to come out on all platforms at once, not one at a time spaced over a few months (such as the wait for the Back Pack and patches was). We could have seen Zang on PC in like December, but not on Switch etc until March, and that wouldn't be great. After Zangetsu, the road map and releases will come faster as things move into order like this and come out together/are worked on together since all the versions are now in a state of parity where they can develop things at once. That is the plan/thinking.

purifyweirdshard is this a hypothesis you came to alone or did you hear this from 505/AP?

Both - but you can put it together from everything else they've said lately, and the character being shown off earlier. It's mostly putting this part of what was shared here in more context: bloodstained.forums.net/post/73032Production Switch 1.04 brought all the platforms (PC, PS4, Xbox and Switch) into ‘Content Parity’, which is a fancy way to say that they all have the same stuff. This was a big milestone for the game. When all the platforms are at the same place, it makes future updates easier to manage. The production teams can all work on the same content and release updates on a schedule with fewer long gaps.

Good to hear! Though I kinda would have liked if they would have released it on platforms as soon as it was ready! I think nobody would have had a complain if the switch versions DLC would come later, since they had other stuff needing worked on before!
ANd I hope he will release in march TwT

I think nobody would have had a complain hahhahaahahahahaha ahem well, it's ideal to send out everything at once, and having everything on the same page w/ tools and ability to develop simultaneously, hopefully it won't be a problem again. The way that the patches for example were staggered (and the Back Pack DLC) was itself not what they would have liked. Now that the Switch is more caught up, we (hopefully) won't have further examples of very messy release schedules and very confusing timelines. Things being pieced out like that across the different platforms leads to a lot of confusion, besides the standard disappointment that the other platform's content is out but not yours. Eternally, confusion and misinformation. It'll be so nice to just be able to say "hey, x is out", no footnotes or detailed abcdefg asterisks for each platform necessary.

I hope that Zangetsu mode brings another stage or something. It would be pointless to bring another usable character in the game with nothing new to do.
Zangetsu isn't dead, he was just taken to the Demon World. I would pay for a DLC that continues the story with Zangetsu to finish off Gremory.

Actually, Zangetsu was hinted to have returned if your map exploration rate not less than 99%. Of course it is possible that you already know this.And, about "finish off Gremory", perhaps he has already did this in CotM (according to its true ending: the world of CotM was created by Gremory. A fictitiousness). Or even simpler: Gremory has already been finished off by Miriam.

No, no,no. Gremory took Zangetsu to the Demon World. Lol, are you sure you were playing the same game as I was? Lol COTM is totally different from ROTN. LOL You don't have to talk to me in this tone, I have no intention of offending you. If my sentence in previous post makes you feel that way then I apologize. CotM is a game developed and scenario-written by IGA so its plot should be based on Japanese the original text. The ending which Zangetsu was neither cooperates nor kills others is called "TRUE END" in Japanese text (show as "FIN" in English text) and this ending shows that the whole world of CotM is just a fictitiousness created by Gremory to trap Zangetsu. And, CotM is not " totally different from ROTN": according to official Update #65 (Japanese text), IGA intends to make CotM into "another episode" and CotM was made in consideration of its relevance with main story (RotN). About what happened after Zangetsu was pulled into those hands... Maybe he was taken to some "Demon World", Maybe he was trapped in CotM world since we are not sure when CotM happened. If Zangetsu is really pulled into some Demon World then he can't use Zangetsuto 'cause he lent it to Miriam before. Well that's another experience. Btw we are not sure if Gremory is dead: maybe she is because Miriam got her shard, maybe she isn't because of O.D's precedent.

The option of playing through the game as Zangetsu would of been awesome late last year when new game releases slowed to a crawl. It would also of been awesome to play as Zangetsu the past few months too. Just like the actual game 505/IGA have once again resorted to complete radio silence for extended periods of time since last Halloween. I'm NOT a game developer but and avid fan of this industry since 1985. I don't understand what the hold up is at this point. The assets are already there, and we just need the ability to play Zangetsu. Now the big releases of this year are drawing near and there wont be any time to enjoy the DLc characters. I say this because most of us will move on with the others who already have. I hope im completely wrong but I foresee Zangetsu and this update finally coming out as some sort of year 1 anniversary bull$hit. The last update was just pathetic and as preusual we got no firm date as to when to expect any DLC. When 505 say coming soon it could be 1 month or half a year which is ridiculous. Please excuse my horrible punctuation and grammar. At this point im washing my hands with their incompetence folks. However I hope those who stick it out actually get your DLC someday.

I really hope Zangetsu mode adds a new area as well. My favorite level in Curse of the Moon was the bonus stage after beating the game once and it would be great to see Zangetsu's personal hell make a return with ROTN graphics and colours.

Seta You were right, definitely not coming in March. Covid-19 might even serve as an excuse to cut everything else from the game.

I would love this! I love Zangetsu and it would be amazing to have an extra hellish area after waiting so long for this DLC. If not, I want him to be protagonist of the next game.

Covid-19 might even serve as an excuse to cut everything else from the game. No! Working from home, bro! Internet distribution of various products (physical or otherwise), homie! Distance business meetings and/or e-learning sessions, ese! Those are a thing and in our nice, modern era with all the cozy, convenient tech around, they be booming and thriving! There. Is. Literally. ZERO. Excuse. *_* Now, please, let them work meticulously and continue uninterrupted, so as we can see to our investment NOT having been wasted or god-forbid; our good-faith abused :@
