2019’s Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was a well-received spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night by that game’s mastermind, Koji Igarashi. It’s been five years since that game launched, but we’re finally getting a true follow-up with the reveal of Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement.
This prequel to Ritual of the Night retains the 2D Castlevania-inspired action of its predecessor. In terms of story, the game’s synopsis states, “Leo and the fearless Black Wolves as they prepare to storm the cursed Ethereal Castle and confront the rising darkness. Under the command of Lord Theodore, the warriors face horrific beasts and the malevolent Demon Lord Elias in a brutal battle for humanity’s survival.” The trailer also shows two characters working together to battle supernatural threats, but it’s unclear at the moment if the game features co-op.
Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement is coming to PlayStation 5 in 2026.
