Koji Igarashi has added a new update to his kickstarter for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the spiritual successor to the Castlevania series.
Here is what Iga had to say;
“Things have been progressing with development for Bloodstained, but between our current production set-up and release deadline, I’ve realized that at this rate the game may not end up meeting my quality standards.
“I’ve decided to add a new development team to the main production and improve our approach so that we can keep the game fully on track for how I envision it. We’re in the process of securing these new developers. We will share more information with all of you soon.
“”While the release date is not yet set in stone, we’re aiming for the first half of 2018. I apologize for the wait. However, I’d like to emphasize that I made this decision to absolutely guarantee the game is done right the first time.
“I hope you’ll continue to support us as wonderfully as you have been. The last thing I want to do is keep our backers waiting, but after receiving such incredible support, I feel responsible for delivering the best product I possibly can. Again, I offer my sincerest apologies.”
Although the game has been delayed, Fans are still able to support the developement for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night at this link. Are you happy that Iga made this decision? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

It will also come with a 1TB hard drive. “PS4 Pro is not intended to blur the line between console generations,” Mark Cerny, the chief architect for the PS4, said on stage. “Instead, the vision is to take the PS4 experience to extraordinary new levels.”
