Lab Zero Games hosted a panel at Anime Expo 2019 this week, and dedicated a significant amount of time to its Metroidvania RPG Indivisible. That included news about the release date – or lack thereof.
Last we heard, Indivisible was on track for 2019. That’s still the case, but Lab Zero Games wasn’t able to share the release date at its panel. The good news is that they do have a date in mind internally, and it will be announced soon. Lab Zero said the game will arrive “sooner than you think.”
Lab Zero added that Indivisible is “really close to being done.” The studio is now in the final stages of bug fixing, polish, and balancing.

[Review] Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Posted on 5 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: June 25, 2019
Developer: ArtPlay
Publisher: 505 Games
Castlevania has been an incredibly important series for the entire medium of gaming. It has also had a long, illustrious life and popularity due in part to longtime series producer Koji Igarashi. The terms Metroidvania and “Igavania” had since been coined thanks to Castlevania’s unique direction of gameplay that usually requires the players to uncover large sections of a map by simply exploring. A huge portion of the fun comes from uncovering the area and seeing how seamlessly it all connects with each other as you run into locked doors and keys in various rooms and levels that intertwine before progressing even further. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the newest creation from Igarashi, would be a return to form to a more nostalgic time in video game history, with very little hand-holding and a freedom of exploration only interrupted by a player’s lack of curiosity. It’s without a doubt one of my favorite games to come out this year, but unfortunately, the Switch version of the game should not be the platform of choice when deciding to tackle an otherwise truly fantastic experience that’s been long overdue for fans of the genre.
