Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night players will will soon be able to enjoy the game in an all-new way again!

The game’s developers have revealed a free new crossover with Child of Light, where players will be able to play as its protagonist Aurora. The new character will come with her own unique skills arsenal – which include her sword and companion Igniculus.

While the update will be hitting other consoles on March 31, Switch players will have to wait until “a later date” to experience this new content.

Check out the official trailer below:

In terms of how the crossover will work, players will be able to start a new game with Aurora, and play through with some unique mechanics.

Aurora has lost her way and awoken in a strange, dangerous new land. Armed with the Sword of Matildis and accompanied by the loyal Igniculus, she must find a way to escape. Despite the dire situation, Aurora is not alone. Johannes is on hand to help her increase her power by transmuting items found in chests throughout the game.

In addition to her sword, Aurora begins her adventure with the help of her trusted friend Igniculus and the directional Light Ray skill. Igniculus acts on his own and can temporarily slow down enemies or heal Aurora with a flash of light. The Light Ray uses MP and shines in front of Aurora. Enemies caught in the light lock on will suffer damage.

Throughout her journey, Aurora gains power by defeating enemies and absorbing Shards. The Grade of each ability can be improved by collecting more shards of the same type and, with the help of Johannes, you can level up the Rank.

After defeating certain bosses, she will grow stronger and gain additional abilities as she ages. Each stage of her progression will add to her movement abilities and unlock previously inaccessible parts of the castle.
