The team behind Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night have launched some free update content for the game on Switch.

The free update adds a Boss Revenge mode as well as some additional customization options for players to peruse.

You can check out the full details below, as explained on the game’s official website:

The first update from the 2020 roadmap is almost here! In the works is Boss Revenge Mode and Chroma Wheel, both of which will be available for free.  

What will each of these features include? Let’s find out… 

Boss Revenge Mode 

It’s time for the bosses of Bloodstained to get their revenge on the heroes!  

Boss Revenge mode puts you in control of one of Bloodstained’s notorious villains: Andrealphus, Bathin, Bloodless or Gremory.  

Each boss  comes equipped with their own roster of abilities, and their own unique play styles..  

  

Once you’ve chosen your character, you’ll challenge a series of heroes: Zangetsu, Dominique and finally, Miriam. The battles are set in their own dedicated spaces. Once you win your fight, you’ll be sent to a transition room to prepare for the next challenge.  

It’s time for the villains to have their day! Are you ready to accept the challenge?  

 

  Chroma Wheel  

Ready for a new look? Todd the Killer Barber has really improved his abilities and is ready to update your style!  

Previously you were limited to just a few color options when customizing your look. Now you will have an entire range of colors to choose from.  

The variable options can be applied to Hair, Sub Hair Color (A new option!), Outfit, Sub Outfit Color, Skin and Eyes. Currently lip color isn’t an option, but it will be added in the next update. 

 

When you’re ready to try out the new options, head to Todd and help him reach 666 hairstyles so he can have his curse lifted! 

We hope you enjoy these new additions to the game!
