Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been rated by the ESRB

It seems like we are finally getting close to the release of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Koji Igarashi’s spiritual successor to the Castlevania series has recently been rated by the ESRB. Usually, this means that a game is at least somewhat close to being released as a near-final build had to have been submitted to the ratings board. Bloodstained has received a “T” rating for “Blood, Partial Nudity and Violence”. Here’s the ESRB’s rating summary:
This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of Miriam, a cursed orphan who must battle her way through a demon-infested castle. As players traverse side-scrolling environments, they use swords, spears, pistols, and whips to battle fantastical creatures (e.g., harpies; spiked armor; demon-like birds, rodents, dogs) in melee-style combat. In one sequence, players encounter a boss character emerging from a bathtub full of blood; her magic attacks can cause blood to rain down on players and stain the walls and ceilings. Another sequence depicts an impaled corpse, with blood flowing heavily into a large fountain pool. The game also depicts a topless female boss creature (no discernible nipples).
Officially, the current release date for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a vague “2019”. In late December last year, Igarashi said that the game’s development “has reached its peak”. Hopefully, a final release date announcement isn’t too far off now.
Terraria: Switch version development update, alpha build submitted for review
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A Switch version of the hit PC game in Terraria has been in development for quite some time – it was initially announced almost two years ago, even before the Switch’s launch. Since then, the game has been quietly pushed back several times; however, it seems like we might now actually be close to the game’s release. An official development update on the Switch version was shared on the official Terraria forums:
The team at Pipeworks is happy to announce that we’ve hit a major milestone in Switch development. Our alpha build has been submitted for review, which means major gameplay systems are in-game and ready for Re-Logic to check out. Pipeworks will be focused on our beta milestone now which means bug fixes, polish, and addressing other feedback from both 505 Games & Re-Logic.
Expect Switch livestreams, feature showcases, and other forms of content to start appearing in your feeds as we get closer to beta.
The team is thrilled at the state of our alpha build and we can’t wait to show you all the work that has been going on behind-the-scenes! It’ll be worth the wait.
A game entering its alpha version usually means that its release isn’t too far off. Hopefully we’ll hear more about Terraria’s Switch version soon.
