Windows PCs are all that’s left
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night‘s dead platforms keep piling up. A few years ago, theWii U version was canceledin favor of flipping over to Switch — a perfectly justifiable move. Earlier in 2018, theVita port was scrappedaltogether. Now, two PC platforms have been axed.
In an update to Kickstarter backers,Bloodstainedproducer Koji Igarashi broke the news that both the Mac and Linux versions have been canceled. Igarashi explains the move by saying “We have made this tough decision due to challenges of supporting middleware and online feature support and making sure we deliver on the rest of the scope for the game.” People who backedBloodstainedfor either Mac or Linux can email the team to change over to a different platform.
As for the wider state ofBloodstained, the Kickstarter update conveys a sense of optimism. The team mentions it’s fine-tuning enemy placements so that it can create a flow throughout the levels. With WayForward’s assistance (who came on-board about a month ago), everyone seems confident thatBloodstained: Ritual of the Nightwill finally launch in 2019.
