UPDATE

Bloodstained has not only met its original goal of $500,000 but has now surpassed the $850,000 mark; meeting all of its stretch goals. This means that the game will now include: a hardcover art book, a second playable character, a Nightmare Difficulty Mode, and David Hayter as a voice actor.

ORIGINAL STORY

Earlier today, famed Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi launched a Kickstarter campaign for his upcoming title, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Just a few short hours after launching the game on the crowd funding site, it has met its goal of $500k.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise given how fans of Castlevania have longed for that series to return to its roots. The Lords of Shadows games failed to excite the series faithful due to the fact that they strayed so far from what made Castlevania so great. With Koji Igarashi helming a spiritual successor of sorts, this could be the game that fans have been asking for.

Expect Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night to release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
