Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night publisher 505 Games and developer ArtPlay today released a free crossover update today taking AirPlay’s gothic side-scrolling action RPG into the realm of Journey, the Grammy-nominated atmospheric hit from Sony Interactive Entertainment, thatgamecompany, and Annapurna Interactive.
In a press release sent out today, the publisher provided an overview of the update and its features:
Discover The Tunnels, a new location inspired by the stunning, somber environments that resonated with Journey fans worldwide. Rising tapestries, a rich desert background, and other iconic design motifs lend Bloodstained a more contemplative, labyrinthine mood.
Despite this change of pace, Miriam’s dynamic, fast-paced combat remains as satisfying as ever. Overcome the Guardian Dragon boss, designed to resemble Journey’s awe-inspiring Guardians, and earn the Mystical Scarf. Resembling Journey’s beloved red scarf, this powerful armor improves Defense, Int, and Mind while providing additional resistance to the elements of Fire and Light.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Stadia, and Luna via streaming, as well as PC via Steam, GOG, EA Origin, and Game Pass. This update will be available in Asia on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch on Aug 23rd, published by H2 Interactive in HK, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and by Digital Touch in Korea.
