505 Games has provided another status update on the upcoming patches for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night on Switch. Once again, the developers are aiming to improve the visuals and performance.
Players should anticipate two separate updates, one of which “will contain the vast majority of the improvements” while the other “will improve performance with a couple of especially troublesome areas and enemies.” They are targeted by the end of November.
Here’s the latest news:
