Bad news for Japanese gamers in Japan – Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night’s launch has been delayed, affecting those who asked for the Nintendo Switch version and other console versions.

While the rest of the world will gain access to Bloodstained on June 18 and June 25, 2019, Japanese backers will have to wait till a later date that isn’t confirmed at this time. To compensate for the wait, codes to redeem the game on Steam will be distributed to Japanese backers on June 18, regardless of what platform they chose.

The development team says that the delay is a result of unexpected logistics issues, and confirmed that Bloodstained’s digital and physical launches in Japan will still move forward as planned.
