Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night's Ver. 1.5 update hits Switch May 16th, 2024
The ritual is nearly complete
It’s been a long road for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. The game made its way to Switch back in June 2019, and it arrived in somewhat rough shape. The dev team hopped in on fixes and tweaks right away, and they’ve been providing updates and fresh content ever since. Now we know when all that support is coming to an end.
The team behind Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has announced that the game’s final update, Ver. 1.5, is coming to Switch on May 16th, 2024. This update will include the usual bug fixes, but it also introduces fresh content as well. You can get a breakdown of what’s to come in the patch notes below.
Chaos Mode / VS Mode / 1 Free Miriam Cosmetic Pack / 3 Premium (Paid) Miriam Cosmetic Packs
Update 1.5 will contain two new game modes, and one free Cosmetic Pack. Along with this, three Premium DLC Miriam Cosmetic Packs will be available for purchase. This will be the final update to the game.
Chaos Mode
Chaos Mode is local or online co-op action that you can play solo, with a friend or be matched with other players on the same system. Fight through a series of randomized rooms to defeat demons and bosses. Complete challenges before each boss to get powerful upgrades! How long will you survive?
Versus Mode
VS Mode is a special PVP mode created just for Ritual of the Night. At the beginning of the match, players will enter a room exclusive to the match battle. Wave after wave of demons will begin to attack both players. When you defeat the demons, you will gain souls. Souls can be spent at the central statue (shop) to upgrade your weapons, armor or items.
You will be able to purchase attacks that will negatively affect your opponent. Fill their room with fog, reverse their controls and more! The winner is the player that survives the longest. Versus Mode supports local and online play with friends or matchmaking with other players on the same platform. Please note that Chaos and Versus Modes do not support cross-platform play.
Cosmetic Packs
1.5 also includes three premium (paid) cosmetic packs and one free pack for Miriam that will change her appearance in the game. Each cosmetic pack has multiple unique clothing items and weapons, each with upgradeable stats. Premium Cosmetic Packs will be available for purchase on each platform’s online store. Equipping a complete set of cosmetic pack items will enable a special stat bar for that specific pack. Included with 1.5 is a free cosmetic pack for Miriam that will automatically be added to everyone’s inventory when it is released.
Last but not least, the dev team does note that they’re working on Classic II: Dominique’s Curse – Premium DLC, and that will arrive sometime after the Ver. 1.5 update. This mode brings the same retro-gameplay as Classic Mode but with a bigger map and its own canon storyline.
