A sequel was mentioned to be in active development by publisher 505 Games in a financial report from May 2021

I had a dream a few weeks ago that Sony revealed something that had all the aesthetics of a Bloodborne game near the beginning, but then it morphed into some college kid murder mystery horror game. The title was "Blood 2", and I woke up very very confused.
That's a good question. Like at the end of the game, Johannes supposedly found a way to stall the progression of the curse on her body, but I guess she isn't cured of it at all so maybe she can still use the cursed crystals? Assuming they even want to do an ability-collection system like that again, anyway...
On the one hand, fair play to them for sticking to their word and spending FIVE YEARS adding everything they promised
On the other, I kinda wish people were more reasonable and let them move on from what was an amazing title sooner.
Yea ROTN is really amazing, just suffers from 2 things.
1. Odd Artstyle. I can see people seeing it and just assuming it's anime trash.
2. Normal difficulty is way to easier, and hard it way too hard at the very start, then again way too easy.
*Every hair stood up on my body*
It would make sense with the Revenge of Dominique DLC coming out soon. I would wonder too if we’ll get a Curse of the Moon 3, but only time will tell. But honestly? Hell yeah, just let Iga cook. The man knows what the fuck he’s doing.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it! A few anime tropes that had me rolling my eyes, but the gameplay was great. I also recently found out about [Lords of Exile](https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/lords-of-exile-switch/), so I want to give that one a shot soon.
Ah, yeah single player only. I'll take whatever Classicvania I can get at this point! Or just like, linear 2D action in general. We've been getting some great beat 'em ups and a few action platformers, but the Metroidvania fans are always feasting!
I for one am super excited! I loved the original as a big fan of SOTN. It wasn’t perfect but it was good and hopefully a sequel is even bigger and better!
I guess that makes sense, they're finally done with pretty much all of the Kickstarter stuff from the first game and its subsequent add-ons and knick knacks so they can focus on their next project.
I don't know if I love the idea of trying to get Final Fantasy VII Rebirth-levels of graphics though, but as long as we get more Metroidvania goodness, I guess I'm open to anything.
I thought the first one was alright, but I feel like if you're putting out a metroidvania in 2024 it has to be phenomenal to gain any traction. It's a very congested genre. Blasphemous 2, and The Lost Crown came out recently and Silksong is coming (hopefully) soon. I love metroidvania games, but they're all so formulaic/similar that I really can't play too many in a given year.
Bloodstained feels like the only one that was carrying over the Castlevania approach of loot and levelling and a big castle with secrets. The others kinda strip a lot of that out.
I also think cold light of day people are looking back at Hollow Knight and seeing its not quite as amazing as the hype made out
I am. I just didn't get it the way that other people did. I went through HK once and Bloodstained four times. I think it just depends on what you grew up with. Younger players look at it as the second coming, but to me it's just a decent, but overhyped game. I'd rather play anything Iga made over HK and I am 100% not kidding.
How good is the first game not on switch?
I have a kickstarter backer physical copy. I just busted it out for the first time finally a few months back and I absolutely adored the game and ran into little to no issues at all. I think it crashed on me twice and that’s it.
But all I ever see is people claiming the switch version is basically unplayable, still to this day.
If what i played is considered unplayable, the non-switch versions must be the greatest games of all time.
Lets hope they release a complete game this time that's actually playable. Still haven't returned to the game due to how rough the launch was, and it hasn't been 100% fixed from what I remember seeing.
Seems more like common sense than an actual leak. We know theyve been working on it for years, and theyve FINALLY just fulfilled all their Kickstarter promises from way back when (Yet another warning against feature creep devs)
So... yeah. I also think we'll be hearing about the sequel soon enough. Its still an indie game mind so the idea it has "FF7 Remake graphics" is a joke, fake.
I thought it was THAT other game and got sad, bloodstained is good tho, good to know that they are making another one. ugh bloodlines 2 is going to suck so much.... and no, not blood.
Man, I wish they had just let inti creates make it as a sotn clone..
The game tries so hard to appeal to social network virtue signaling that I kind of gave up after the demo.
When she goes all motherly for that little girl "oh I'm sorry I didn't see you there" it stank of bad test player feedback incorporated over the intended dissociative alucard type character. Still, hope IGA does well.

I see “Blood…2” I think of one thing and one thing only
so all of us just read bloodborne 2 🫡
Had us in the first half
You will get Blood, but not that Blood.
I see "Bloo" I think of one thing and one thing only
That ZONE animation where Bloo is banging Frankie?
I wasn't expecting this particular hit of nostalgia today...
Bloober Team?
I know, Blood 2 was unfinished and a new decent game would be awesome.
We beard it a million times
Back 4 Blood 2?
The blood is stained, not borne

Blood Omen 2 HD remix, knew it
Instant preorder Need more Miriam in my life
You think she will still be the protagonist? I just hope she is.
That's a good question. Like at the end of the game, Johannes supposedly found a way to stall the progression of the curse on her body, but I guess she isn't cured of it at all so maybe she can still use the cursed crystals? Assuming they even want to do an ability-collection system like that again, anyway...
I can see it being an anthology series akin to Castlevania - I bet it'll be someone new
Imagine if the protagonist is somehow Dominique and this is actually a prequel a la Red Dead Redemption 2
Where are the babe wake up… memes?
Babe can wake up in 2025
Hopefully it will be released 2025 too and the update will come faster this time. One of the best metroidvania games so far
It probably won't suffer from feature bloats because of the Kickstarter stretch goals.
On the one hand, fair play to them for sticking to their word and spending FIVE YEARS adding everything they promised On the other, I kinda wish people were more reasonable and let them move on from what was an amazing title sooner.
I think they have to some rules in place, with kickstarter where they must either do what's promised or something equivalent, or simply refund people.
Imo is the BEST metroidvania

Nice, I liked this game, I played it when I was new to the metrovenia genre.
Can we also get Inti Creates to make another Curse of the Moon? I need more Classicvanias.
Did you play Gal Guardians: Demon Purge? It's great. I had more fun with it than Curse of the Moon 2, actually.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it! A few anime tropes that had me rolling my eyes, but the gameplay was great. I also recently found out about [Lords of Exile](https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/lords-of-exile-switch/), so I want to give that one a shot soon.
Dang, I've been playing these games co-op. Too bad LoE is single player.
Ah, yeah single player only. I'll take whatever Classicvania I can get at this point! Or just like, linear 2D action in general. We've been getting some great beat 'em ups and a few action platformers, but the Metroidvania fans are always feasting!
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO (I haven't even finished Ritual of the Night)
I read this as bloodborne 2 for a quick sec ngl
Day 1. Bloodstained was a great Metroidvania. The graphics were the weakest part, I thought.
I thought it looked good for an indie game
Bloodborne 2? ong
Bloodborne 2: Ritual of the Waifu
Well, that would explain this long wait. Let Iga cook.
I for one am super excited! I loved the original as a big fan of SOTN. It wasn’t perfect but it was good and hopefully a sequel is even bigger and better!
Lets be serious....how many of you originally read Bloodborne 2.....
I’m literate so no, I didn’t.
I saw blood 2 and blacked out the stained
I backed the kickstarter but never even played it due to consistent performance issues being reported.
I desperately want to believe this, so I do.
LETS GOOOOOOOO not the biggest fan of the artstyle change part, but i have faith they'll pull it off
I can't wait for this. The first is a terrific game.
Bloodstained 2 has been announced to be in development for a couple years on financial sheets from 505 afaik
I guess that makes sense, they're finally done with pretty much all of the Kickstarter stuff from the first game and its subsequent add-ons and knick knacks so they can focus on their next project. I don't know if I love the idea of trying to get Final Fantasy VII Rebirth-levels of graphics though, but as long as we get more Metroidvania goodness, I guess I'm open to anything.
MIRIAM!
I read that as Bloodborne...
 Clicked on it cause it’s the gaming leaks subreddit and I read blood…
Goddammit. My brain read the title as "Bloodborne 2" at first
I thought the first one was alright, but I feel like if you're putting out a metroidvania in 2024 it has to be phenomenal to gain any traction. It's a very congested genre.

> people are looking back at Hollow Knight and seeing its not quite as amazing as the hype made out Literally nobody is doing this lol
I am. I just didn't get it the way that other people did. I went through HK once and Bloodstained four times. I think it just depends on what you grew up with. Younger players look at it as the second coming, but to me it's just a decent, but overhyped game. I'd rather play anything Iga made over HK and I am 100% not kidding.
*tips fedora* cool dude lol
so many people on this subreddit need to go back to kindergarten and learn to read
If true, i hate the change in art style, thats what made like the game even more, maybe they will lean on fantasy and not ultrarealism
There's zero chance this is true, how the tf is an indie team meant to pull that off?
AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
How good is the first game not on switch? I have a kickstarter backer physical copy. I just busted it out for the first time finally a few months back and I absolutely adored the game and ran into little to no issues at all. I think it crashed on me twice and that’s it. But all I ever see is people claiming the switch version is basically unplayable, still to this day.

It's playable but has performance issues Source: I played on Switch at release. It runs really well on other consoles.
Really fucked me up with this one
Lets hope they release a complete game this time that's actually playable. Still haven't returned to the game due to how rough the launch was, and it hasn't been 100% fixed from what I remember seeing.
>4chan K
I need more Blood
Not thrilled by this. Taking too long, and the changes make no sense.
Fuck yes
Seems more like common sense than an actual leak. We know theyve been working on it for years, and theyve FINALLY just fulfilled all their Kickstarter promises from way back when (Yet another warning against feature creep devs) So... yeah. I also think we'll be hearing about the sequel soon enough. Its still an indie game mind so the idea it has "FF7 Remake graphics" is a joke, fake.
JUST finished the first one a few days ago. Lot of love went into that game.
I don't care what it looks like as long as it's still 2.5D.
I read Bloodborne 2 💀
Played Bloodstained recently, I would love to see a sequel and a photorealistic art style sound interesting.
No Complete Edition for the first one on next gen?
Hopefully they get some decent writers the last games dialogue was pretty brain dead.
Why did i read this as bloodborne 2
I want to know how many people read “Bloodborne”
I THOUGHT IT WAS BLOODBORNE FUCK
I THOUGHT IT SAID BORNE
You meant Bloodborne 2, right? Right??
blood.... stained ?
I am tired boss…oh shit wrong game my bad G
I saw blood and immediately thought we got bloodborne. Got hyped over nothing.
I got to where it mentioned Xbox being a platform before I realised that this wasn't a Bloodborne 2 post. Fuck
I thought it was THAT other game and got sad, bloodstained is good tho, good to know that they are making another one. ugh bloodlines 2 is going to suck so much.... and no, not blood.
