Calabasas, Calif. – June 10, 2020 – Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night players around the world can look forward to a remaining year filled with free content as publisher 505 Games and indie studio ArtPlay offer a sneak peek at the free DLC development roadmap for the million-plus unit selling game, a 2020 SXSW® Gaming Awards nominee for Best New Intellectual Property. Beginning with Boss Revenge Mode and increased character customization with the Chroma Wheel feature for players on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Tuesday, June 23, players will be treated to a steady stream of free content and features throughout the remainder of the year developed to enhance the game experience and offer more ways to interact with Koji Igarashi’s critically-acclaimed indie debut title.

Q2 2020
- Boss Revenge Mode: Players can thank the Kickstarter community for this new free gameplay mode in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night – a direct result of community support in helping the game surpass its final $5.5M stretch funding goal. In this mode, accessible by entering transition room in-game, players will face off against four in-game bosses fast and furiously to get the best clear time.

- Chroma Wheel: The salon is back in business with more options than ever in color palette for character customization, including hair, clothing, and skin. Players can return to Todd the Barber, Bloodstained’s demonic scissor-wielding hair stylist, and switch up their look with a true color selector and eliminating pre-set options previously available.

Boss Revenge and Chroma Wheel will launch on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Tuesday, June 23rd, and Nintendo Switch in July.

Q3 2020
- VS Mode (Local/Online): A tense survival mode where players compete by indirectly attacking each another.

Chaos Mode (Local/Online): A specialized boss rush for 1 or 2 players. The mode includes randomized drops and special sub goals that will grant more equipment when completed. Collect the best, drop the rest as you build power to defeat all the bosses!

Classic Mode: It’s Bloodstained 80s-style as Miriam faces off against a series of sub-bosses laid out across five harrowing stages and three difficulty levels.

Q4 2020
Playable Character: Bloodstained’s 3rd playable character after Miriam and Zangetsu. (It’s not Dominique)
