Bloodstained crosses over with Journey today!
Today marks the release of a crossover update for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Publisher 505 Games and developer ArtPlay are teaming up with Sony Interactive Entertainment, thatgamecompany, and AnnaPurna Interactive in order to bring ArtPlay’s gothic side-scrolling action RPG into the realm of Journey, the Grammy-nominated atmospheric hit. Players will be able to discover The Tunnels, a new location inspired by the stunning, somber environments that resonated with Journey fans worldwide. Rising tapestries, a rich desert background, and other iconic design motifs lend Bloodstained a more contemplative, labyrinthine mood.
Despite this change of pace, Miriam’s dynamic, fast-paced combat remains as satisfying as ever. Overcome the Guardian Dragon boss, designed to resemble Journey’s awe-inspiring Guardians, and earn the Mystical Scarf. Resembling Journey’s beloved red scarf, this powerful armor improves Defence, Int, and Mind while providing additional resistance to the elements of Fire and Light. Players can access the Journey content after freeing Grebel from Gremory’s grasp to unlock the Den of Behemoths in Bloodstained’s original story mode. They must then locate a shrine in the Hidden Desert (noted as a Journey-inspired map icon) to find the crossover content in a new area called The Tunnels. The free update is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, Stadia, and Luna via streaming, as well as on PC via Steam, GOG, EA Origin and Game Pass.
