Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has sold over ONE MILLION copies worldwide! This is a remarkable milestone for any game, but it is especially sweet considering the humble beginnings of the project. Bloodstained wouldn’t exist without the passion and faith of the many Kickstarter Backers who made the game a reality. What started as a small idea quickly turned into a phenomenon with more backers and support from the community than we could have ever expected. We want to thank all the game’s fans for being a part of this amazing journey and for making Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night a global success. We recently launched the game’s first major free content update which included Zangetsu and Randomizer Mode. That release has kicked off the second chapter of the game’s development. We have a full slate of free updates planned that will take us through the rest of 2020. We are excited to share the Development Roadmap with you so everyone can see what is coming to Bloodstained over the rest of the year. Let’s take a look...  Q2 2020
Boss Revenge Mode - Take control of one of four in-game bosses and use them to battle the heroes of Bloodstained! Chroma Wheel - The salon is back in business with more options than ever for character customization, including hair, clothing, and skin color. Switch up your look with a true color selector and eliminating pre-set options previously available. Boss Revenge and Chroma Wheel will launch on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Tuesday, June 23rd, and Nintendo Switch in July
Q3 2020
VS Mode (Local/Online) A tense survival mode where players compete by indirectly attacking each another. Chaos Mode (Local/Online) A specialized boss rush for 1 or 2 players. The mode includes randomized drops and special sub goals that will grant more equipment when completed. Collect the best, drop the rest as you build power to defeat all the bosses! Classic Mode
It’s Bloodstained 80s-style as Miriam faces off against a series of sub-bosses laid out across five harrowing stages and three difficulty levels.
Q4 2020
Playable Character
Bloodstained’s 3rd playable character after Miriam and Zangetsu. ` (It’s not Dominique)
 Schedules are always subject to change, but that’s the current plan. It’s going to be a busy time for Bloodstained! There’s more content in works than we have listed above including bug fixes, improvements to the game, paid DLC and a few other surprises. We’ll reveal more details for each new feature when they are closer to release. Once again, thank you to everyone for helping us get to this amazing milestone! We couldn’t have done it without you. - The Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Team |

Congratulations on the milestone! While it's very nice to have a detailed roadmap of what's coming, but aren't we already at the rear end of Q2 of this year? Kinda skeptical to think we could get something like boss revenge mode so soon after Zangetsu and randomizer mode coming out about a month ago, but we'll see I suppose.

Congratulations! The game is beautiful and fun. BUT... is there any possibility the team can optimize the graphics even further for Switch? I backed the Switch version and even bought the PC version. I am a FAN of the game no matter what. BUT it would be AWESOME if the programmers could squeeze a bit more performance out of the Switch hardware - maybe make the graphics clearer/bump the resolution and texture quality, reduce the loading, implement the shadows for characters, ... better optimizations overall?? Thank you for your dedication and PLEASE continue to support/improve the Switch version of this great game!

Congratulations, everyone!
It's been a bumpy ride sometimes, but well worth it, overall.
Really looking forward to extra modes, and to the Chroma Wheel in particular.
Also crossing my fingers for WayForward eventually working on a next-gen sequel using next-gen storage solutions. I have a feeling that having them would have alleviated many of your development woes.
Good luck and Godspeed!

This is an AMAZING Update =D
Congrats on the 1 Million Sold units!
Looking forward and hoping the roadmap won't change anymore =)
ANd I am wondering who the third character might be...
Definately a woman, maybe an entirely new character? because the silhouette does not give me any clues...
Also, Crossover stuff? Interesting... x3

Congratulations to all of Team Bloodstained and the community on this milestone! Really liking this update and looking forward to playing the additional content as it becomes available. Boss Revenge Mode looks like a lot of fun: Like dareka said crossing my fingers for a sequel with heavy Way Forward involvement. I know I plugged them before but I hope Iga would consider entrusting the sound design for the next Bloodstained to studio Monaca that did the music for Nier. |

Definately a woman, maybe an entirely new character? because the silhouette does not give me any clues... Also, Crossover stuff? Interesting... x3 The voice actress for, I think it was Bloodless and Anne? mentioned in her interview that she was voicing another character who needed to remain secret, so I'm guessing it's her... and since they are sure we don't know who it is, my guess is it's a new character, maybe a Maria-type. I wouldn't be surprised if it were a character called "Vusc" who attacks using paintings and brushes or something... |

My personal opinion is maybe that female silhouette is just a "wildcard" to avoid players recognizing who the 3rd playable character is. Perhaps the 3rd one is not a female.
However, considering that WayForward is participated in some development and this thread revealed there are some "SPECIAL CROSSOVER CONTENT", maybe that is Shantae (joking).
And even Shantae is not the 3rd one, she (or/and other characters from her series) also has a little possibility to enter RotN as paid DLC.
Speaking of paid DLC, personally I hope it is/contains other playable characters.

I really hope that paid DLC actually introduces new campaigns; not just a character to to play through the same but compromised stages.
Perhaps some kind of sub story with Gebel before he was over taken by shards? Like a story around his training to learn how to use the shards.
Or how Johannes and Miriam deal with the aftermath in the town after Bael was defeated? Clearly the demons are still present; they didn't just disappear.

Congrats to Iga and his Team!
It looks like we have plenty of content still. I hope it turns out well.
I'm kind of worried about the Special Crossover Content / Third Playable Character.
'Kind of expecting the Special Crossover to be probably something from Inti Creates.
I hope the Third Playable character isn't related to the Special Crossover. It just seems like it'd be a waste.

'Kind of expecting the Special Crossover to be probably something from Inti Creates. I hope the Third Playable character isn't related to the Special Crossover. It just seems like it'd be a waste. With Way Forward being one of the game's co-developers I'd expect something Shantae and/or Mighty Switch Force related which could be costumes, transformations or even small areas/stages for the main game or classic mode.
As far as the third playable character goes I'd say the most likely bet would be OD on a quest to collect the books he's lent out although I wouldn't rule out an original character or multi-character mode ala Julius mode.

For the Crossover Stuff my guess is Gunvolt. I might remember it wrong but in "Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon" if you got the true ending, you see Zangetsu waking up in a city that looks a lot it was the one from Gunvolt.
So maybe we finally get that Crossover somehow!

So maybe we finally get that Crossover somehow! Borrow my own previous reply: The ending which Zangetsu was neither cooperates nor kills others is the True Ending (called "TRUE END" in Japanese text, show as "FIN" in English text) of CotM and this ending shows that the whole world of CotM is just a fictitiousness created by Gremory to trap Zangetsu so its plot does not conflict with RotN. |

And thank goodness for that Who knows, might be untainted Dominique from CotM2 ;D A little off-topic but I just love Dominique's new design for CotM2. It's a bit of a shame it's only being used in-game in a retro game ... it would be so cool to play as her in a future update/ sequel ... *cough* ... Oh, and for the crossovers, I'm thinking it'll be a Shantae crossover and an Indivisible crossover, with costumes, shards and maybe an additional level. That's my best guess. |
