Latest ‘Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night’ Kickstarter Update Reveals Graphical Upgrades

Published

With Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night finally getting a Fall release date (even if it’s not specific), ArtPlay and 505 Games have released a development update on the title’s Kickstarter page, which includes a nice graphics comparison video showing the game’s progress heading into the home stretch.

The update, penned by Koji Igarashi, delves into some of the gameplay mechanics, including the use of crystals to help maneuver the castle. There is the Reflector Ray which allows the player to bounce around the environment, letting players slip into tight spaces and reach new areas. The other is the Invert shard, which (taking a cue from Igarashi’s own Castlevania: Symphony of The Night) allows players to invert the castle whenever and wherever they’d like, allowing them to navigate areas that normally would be unreachable.

As for the graphical comparison, the footage shows off the June 2018 demo, and a current February 2019 build of the game, which has a better texture quality and lighting effects.

Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night is due out in the Fall for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and the Nintendo Switch.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
