It’s one of the most highly anticipated games of 2019, but today gamers across the globe can rejoice as 505 Games deliver Koji Igarashi’s gothic horror side-scrolling action RPG Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night to Xbox One, PS4, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch drop just around the corner.

Available right now for Xbox One, PS4 and PC, with the launch on Nintendo Switch due to arrive come June 25th, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night sees us thrown into an 18th century England world, where a strange paranormal force has managed to bring forth a demon-infested castle. Taking on the role of Miriam, an orphan who has been hit by a curse which is crystalising her body, it is up to you to save not just Miriam herself, but humanity as a whole.

This will happen by fighting your way through the castle, picking up, crafting and unlocking a huge array of weaponry, equipment types and sweet loot, powering Miriam up enough so to be able to take on the evil summoner Gebel, and the hordes of minions and bosses that await.

Expect to find some super deep gameplay, absolutely tons of replay opportunities, some glorious visuals, multiple characters to enjoy and one of the biggest world maps that Koji Igarashi has ever created.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
