Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a Metroidvania video game developed by ArtPlay, DICO and WayForward Technologies, and published by 505 Games. The game's development was led by former Castlevania series producer Koji Igarashi, and is considered a spiritual successor to the series. Bloodstained was released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in June 2019. A retro-style companion game, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, was developed by Inti Creates and released in May 2018.
The game released during the week of this posting to mixed reviews, with reports of various gameplay glitches and bugs, but many players praised it as a homage to the original Castlevania series, even though it plays a bit too safe in that regard in terms of recycling the same tried-and-true formula.
From Xbox.com:
Koji Igarashi (Iga), creator of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, is bringing Igavania back! Take on the role of Miriam, a cursed 18th century orphan whose body is slowly being crystallized. Explore and conquer a demon-infested castle to save the world, and yourself in the process.
This is Iga's biggest game ever, roughly twice as big as his previous games. There's crafting, cooking, upgrading and hundreds of weapons, spells, gear, and cosmetics to power up and look the way you want while you fight the demons of hell.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night features a celebrity cast doing all the voice acting, including David Hayter(!) from the Metal Gear franchise, and a full orchestra soundtrack by Michiru Yamane, composer of Castlevania: Symphony of the night.

I have watched at least five different streamers complete the game since launch in less than ten hours on blind runs of the game, so I know I won't be picking this up right off the bat. But from what I have seen, it does look like a blast though. I wish I kept up with it more during development. Hell, I still haven't even played the Curse of the Moon Kickstarter incentive.
