Bloodstained will get an 8-bit homage to the unique Castlevania subsequent week

Castlevania non secular successor Bloodstained will get a spin-off prequel sport on May 24 known as Curse of the Moon, and it’s a retro love letter to the unique Castlevania video games on NES.

Long-running Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi, who’s directing the crowdfunded Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, took to Youtube (noticed by Appuals) to introduce the sport – together with a brand new trailer and a launch date of simply subsequent week.

Curse of the Moon is being developed by Inti Creates, who’re helping Igarashi’s studio ArtPlay with Bloodstained and its Kickstarter. The spin-off was one of many greater stretch targets on the marketing campaign, which was reached, and that is the primary time the sport’s actually been seen – it was beforehand simply known as a “retro level” and it appears to have been considerably expanded upon because it was introduced.
