Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Receives a Free Update

505 Games and Koji Igarashi’s ArtPlay, in association with developer WayForward, have delivered a free update to the gothic-horror side-scrolling action RPG Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A new trailer offers a first look at Zangestu traversing and maneuvering through Gebel’s hellish castle.

The free update, also making its way to Nintendo Switch later this month, enables players to mix up their next playthrough of the game by playing as the katana wielding demon hunter Zangetsu. Players who successfully complete the game and receive the “Good Ending” can select Zangetsu as a character when starting a new game, enabling use of the demon hunter’s full movement and combat abilities. When playing as Zangetsu, players will progress through the same campaign, encountering identical enemy and boss fights but will not use consumables, equipment, crafting, treasure chests or quests normally associated with the campaign as Miriam.
