Bloodstained Curse of the Moon Gets A Sequel.

It’s no surprise that fans have been in love of the Bloodstained franchise. Its most recent release Bloodstained: Ritual of the night, has been a very big success. It was a Kickstarter project and during the time of development they hit a kickstarter goal to fund an 8-bit prequel version called Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon. During Inti Creates 25th Anniversary panel at New Game+ Expo they announced that it was getting a sequel. For the those unfamiliar with the Bloodstained series, it is a very obvious Castlevania inspired game from its retro Prequel/Standalone game Curse of the Moon, to its more Modernized symphony of the night counterpart Ritual of the Night. Castlevania fans have flocked to the Bloodstained series One because of the lack of new Castlevania games from Konami and Two because of the Creator of Bloodstained, Koji Igarashi. For those who do not know, Koji Igarashi is known as one of the Godfathers of Castlevania and the progenitors of the birth of the Metroidvania genre. We worked at Konami in 1990 alongside Castlevania creator, Hitoshi Akamatsu. His experience of the series and inspirations from his time with the Castlevania franchise shine through his work on the Bloodstained Series. It has redefined the formula that has been established and improved upon it. The Sequel titled Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, continues to follow the protaganist from the first Game Zangetsu. Taking place after the true ending of the first game and the demise of his former companions he sets upon a new journey with three new companions to recruit to the players party; Domanique an Exorcist of the church, Robert a skilled sharpshooter, and Hachi a character utilizing a magic suit of armor.
