The fantastic metroidvania Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is getting a sequel, according to a new financial report.
Digital Bros, which oversees the publisher 505 Games, revealed key data on the original 2019 released game in its recent financial report. The slide in reference to the game mentions the previously reported 1 million sales of the title, which in turn has delivered €30.2 million in profits. But the most exciting news is note of a “second version in development”, however, there's no indication of when this may be.
Now, it may be easy to think this is just another version of the original game, but if we look at Ghostrunner's slide, two things are noted. Firstly, that again, a second version is in development. But secondly, we have confirmation of a next-gen version early next financial year. This leads us to believe that the "second version" mentioned is in fact a sequel, as it's already been confirmed that Ghostrunner has one in the works.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night received a score of 84 on Metacritic, with many praising its exploration and combat. Sporting both a fantastic number of sales and reviews, it's no surprise a sequel is in the works.

I love Bloodstained. I was an original backer and I have beat the game in PS4 (with all trophies obviously), in Series S (with all achievements) and in Switch (if you have not played it yet stay away from this version).
This is really good news. I hope the experience they acquired in making Bloodborne results in a more streamlined development cycle for the sequel.
Q) Are you excited for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night sequel?
A) Very much so; I adored Bloodstained. I have very little experience with Castlevania (only played Castlevania 64) but I liked the look of Bloodstained, noticed it being promoted at one of Xbox's events, and purchased it. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the game. Great designs, characters, NPCs, gameplay; an absolute ton of fun.
So yeah, if a sequel is coming out then I'll be keeping my eye out for it. I still need to revisit it at some point to play all it's extra content that has been added since and a sequel announcement would certainly get me in the mood.
