Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement Reportedly Also Coming to Nintendo Switch
Five years ago, developer ArtPlay and publisher 505 Games officially announced a sequel to Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, their acclaimed spiritual successor to the Castlevania series. This follow-up, titled Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement, was first unveiled in June 2025 during the 'not-E3' period, encompassing events like Summer Game Fest. At the time of its reveal, the game was confirmed for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X, with Nintendo platforms noticeably absent from the lineup.
However, recent information suggests that Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement will also be making its way to the Nintendo Switch. This detail was reportedly shared by an employee of the publisher, though specific clarification on whether this refers to the current Switch or a potential next-generation console is pending. Intriguingly, the same source mentioned an "unannounced" game slated for a 2026 release on the Switch 2, leading to speculation that this could either be an optimized version of the Bloodstained sequel or an entirely separate project.
In somber news from last month, it was announced that Konami veteran Shutaro Iida, who contributed to Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement at ArtPlay, tragically passed away from cancer. This title will stand as his final work, a poignant legacy for a developer who never saw its completion.
