So, I don't know about you guys...but I never got that magazine, nor a refund. I was in e-mail contact with someone for a little while, but that fell off as well. Things I've seen on the internet since lead me to think that they're in some kind of legal/financial trouble? What in the world?

I hope everything about it gets resolved.

GameFan seemed to be handling orders/production for it.

From Wikipedia:

On May 6, 2015, GameFan had announced a partnership with Destructoid to help promote the GameFan brand with collaborations and free subscription offers. The initial plan was to bring back the dual-cover format from the first two issues, only instead of a MovieFan portion, it would be exclusive content created by Destructoid for the magazine.[16] According to GameFan's official Facebook page, the deal with Destructoid would have allowed for the magazine to be released on a monthly schedule. [17] The deal with Destructoid fell through and only one issue of the GameFan/Destructoid magazine was ever released.

Oh... that does not sound good. Maybe Bloodstained's popularity made their first attempt too overwhelming to properly respond to demand so much that it killed em.

EDIT: Actually, that kinda makes for a hell of a collectors item now.

Ciel: Been a long time since I last logged here, but it seems that until we get any news of a sequel, there won't be much to discuss. Oh well! Sept 25, 2023 14:32:30 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: The discord is certainly where the activity is, but we'll keep this forum up and running as long as we can. Bloodstained's subreddit also still moves along pretty well Oct 3, 2023 15:31:05 GMT -6

LeoLeWolferoux: Man, Yeah I'm surprised IGA hasn't said *anything* about a B:ROTN 2. As far as I know he had full intentions of making one, but radio silence as far as I know. :/ Jun 5, 2024 13:25:51 GMT -6
