Damn, IGA, I hope this game comes out on time! For the uninitiated, last year a team member from Bloodstained confirmed that they were moving forward with a staggered release model -- in other words, a Shovel Knight strategy that involves p...

If there was any time for Konami to announce it is making a new Castlevania game, that time would be now. The franchise is experiencing something of a resurgence at the moment with the short but sweet Netflix animated series that has a...

Adi Shankar is quite a cult hit in film circles. He's made a name for himself by fully investing into properties he loves. It's a nerdy demeanor that's absolutely infectious as its led to his famous "Bootleg Universe," in which he's produce...

We're pretty used to movies getting sequels before they're even released (hell, some get them before they even begin shooting), but television has been slower to pick up on the trend. Probably because they want to avoid awkward situations l...

Turning classic games on their head can be a lot of fun. Genre flipping is always a risk, but if it pans out, it can create a whole new fanbase. The creator of the Evan Yeti webcomic wants to do just that, tweeting out a work in progress sc...

For this month's backer update for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, designer IGA spoke with composer Michiru Yamane, whose music you'll know and surely dig from games like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (yep, there it goes -- it's st...

See that headline? Good. Read it again. Here it is in case you don't want to look up: "There's going to be a Castlevania Netflix Original series this year." The reason for the sass in the opening paragraph is because the headline is all tha...

There's some new footage of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and it's bugging the hell out of me. For its eighth development update, we get protagonist Miriam platforming her way through a town. It's an innocuous 30 seconds. But, for...

With basically every indie/Kickstarter developer pulling a 180 on their Wii U plans, it stands to reason that Bloodstained would too -- though nothing has been officially announced yet. Some people want the team to just tell backers now, so...

I haven't kept up with this week's Summer Games Done Quick super well, but each time I remember to check in on the speedrunning-for-charity livestream, I'm enthralled, whether it's watching a player strategically fall through the Tower of ...

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will have a playable demo available at E3, but you won't need to be in Los Angeles with us next week to try it out. During the show or sometime "shortly after," Inti Creates will send out the same preview ...

I've been wanting to do a gaming-themed exercise to lose some weight for some time now, but I kept putting it off because it sounded haaaaard. Well, we finally got to it, and +1 STR Fitness is now a real thing. Richard Huynh (one of our new...

It's been roughly a year since Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was Kickstarted, and you know what? Development seems to be going rather smoothly. So smoothly in fact, that the team has decided to ensure that the game isn't delay...

You may have heard that Mondo will be selling four pretty amazing posters at Emerald City Comicon, but there's another surprise in the mix as well. The company has announced that there will be a pair of limited edition vinyl soundtracks for...
