by ·

Global publisher of video games, 505 Games, part of the Digital Bros S.p.A, today announces that it has entered into an agreement with ArtPlay Inc. for exclusive worldwide publishing rights across multiple formats to Bloodstained, the latest opus from Koji Igarashi.

 

Following a successful Kickstarter in 2015 which has raised $5.5m to date from 65k backers,Bloodstained is already being touted as the spiritual successor to the much-loved and highly-acclaimed Castlevania series of which Igarashi is the former series producer.

An early demo has already been wowing backers and fans alike and earning early accolades & was voted runner up in Best Indie Game of E3 2016 by GamesRadar.

 

Like Castlevania before it, Bloodstained follows the “Metroidvania” style of gameplay for which Igarashi-san has become renowned and will also replicate its familiar 2.5D art style.

 

The game is now in full production for Microsoft Windows, Linux, Sony’s PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo’s WiiU sytem and Microsoft’s Xbox One and OSX. The deal with 505 Games covers all formats except mobile and tablets.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
