Bloodstained - The Scarlet Engagement announcement

 
 It has been like 6 years since Bloodstained Ritual of the Night got released and Koji Igarashi decided he still got the game and decided to make a sequel! Dubbed as Bloodstained The Scarlet Engagement, this Igavania will be released on 2026 with Multiplatform release on Modern consoles and PC, No Nintendo Switch 2 yet but I reckon the likelihood will be still high considering Ritual of the Moon got Switch Physical release. 

From what has been revealed so far, Scarlet Engagement will take on a century before Ritual of the Moon thus serving as some sort of prequel. But what stands out for me from this Bloodstained is the return Dual character tag team gameplay which is from Portrait of Ruins. This is quite big deal for me because among Nintendo DS Igavania, Portrait of Ruin had the best gameplay experience for me. 

To me, Bloodstained Ritual of the Moon is not exactly the best ever Metroidvania game but it is decent enough to satiate the thirst for Igavania and sufficient to make me invest my attention toward this particular Sequel. Hopefully Koji Igarashi will deliver a good Igavania experience with Scarlet Engagement and if things go well, we could still expect a 3rd Bloodstained main series in the future.
