ArtPlay and 505 Games have announced the final update for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will arrive on PC via Steam and GOG, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 9, while Switch users will be getting it on May 16. Version 1.5 will add two new game modes “Chaos Mode” and “Versus Mode” (which were hinted at last year) and one free cosmetic pack. There will also be three premium DLC cosmetic packs launching alongside the update.
Both new modes add local and online co-op play to Bloodstained, allowing players to team up with a friend or be matched with other players on the same system. Sadly, no cross-platform play will be included.
Chaos Mode adds a survival mode where players must fight through a series of randomized rooms to defeat demons and bosses. Completing challenges before each boss will grant players powerful upgrades.
Meanwhile, Versus Mode pits players against one another, where they will enter a room and have successive waves of demons attacking them. Defeating the demons will grant you souls, which can be spent at the central statue (shop) to upgrade your weapons, armor or items. You will also be able to purchase attacks that will negatively affect your opponent, such as reversing their controls or filling their room with fog. The player who survives the longest wins.
More details on each game mode will be revealed when they go live.
And just because Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will be getting its final update this month doesn’t mean that the DLC will end. ArtPlay has also teased a premium DLC pack is also being developed, entitled Classic Mode II: Dominique’s Curse. This DLC will continue the same retro-gameplay as the previous Classic Mode DLC, but with a bigger map and its own storyline. More info on this will be revealed at a later date.
