For those of you who may not know, Bloodstained is in many ways the spiritual successor to the classic versions of Castlevania. It garnered a lot of attention from fans who helped fund the game in record time, making it so it eventually made $5.5 million dollars. This was the biggest Kickstarter in history until Shenmue III took that distinguished title.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is set to be released on consoles, mobile, and PC platforms sometime in 2017.
