Bloodstained celebrates over 1 million copies sold, gets free Boss Revenge and Chroma Wheel DLC
Koji Igarashi's Castlevania-themed Kickstarter game Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has just reached a milestone: 1 million copies sold. To celebrate, 505 Games has announced that the game will be getting some new free DLC this month, along with showing their roadmap for updates planned for release throughout the rest of the year. On June 23, Bloodstained will be getting two free updates in the form of a "Boss Revenge Mode" and "Chroma Wheel", with the former being the Kickstarter's final stretch goal, letting players to choose to play as a boss character in order to fight against the protagonists, while the Chroma Wheel adds more colors and customization options for the main character's appearance. The update won't be available until later in July, for Switch owners.
In addition to this, a Chaos Mode will serve as a boss rush mode, where randomized drops will appear to let you improvise equipment sets to take on progressively more challenging bosses. It'll support either local or online coop against another player, too. A VS Mode update is planned for Q3 2020, where two players fight against each other in a survival match, while a Classic Mode will see you play "80s-style", fighting sub-bosses while trying to complete five different stages.
Lastly, a third playable character is being teased as the final update for 2020. Their identity is a mystery for now, but whoever it is, it won't be Dominique, according to the development team.
