Dear Reader:
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night's big Switch patch making progress, release date still not decided
The Bloodstained team continues working on their patch for the Switch version of the game, and there's good news and bad news. Good news is that the team is making progress, bad news is that there's still no release date for the patch. Check out the full discussion from the most recent Kickstarter update below.
As mentioned in the last update, the bulk of our development resources are still being put into the major Switch update. We don’t have an ETA to share with you on the full revamp, but we are on track to deliver on our internal dates.
One of the things the team is doing now is going through the game and identifying visual effects that are slowing things down. Where possible, we have optimized or replaced effects with ones that aren't as impactful, but visually look the same.
Once the revamp is made public, you'll see effects that are more clear and won’t drag down the framerate. We have a lot more of these kind of improvements in progress, with tons of work being done on input delay, stability, and more, but we felt that it was important to give you an idea of what's being worked on.
