Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has become a bit of an E3 staple. Koji Igarashi’s Kickstarter-funded Castlevania successor was supposed to come out in early 2017, but delays have piled up, and so it was that I sat down to try out the third (and hopefully final) Bloodstained demo at E3 2018.

This latest demo, which will go out to Kickstarter backers later this week, featured three connected areas – a leaky ship (which we’ve seen before), a village, and the entrance to the game’s main castle. Personally, I only managed to make it to the village during my allotted time, but, sneaking a peek at some of my fellow tester’s screens, it seems the demo culminated in a one-on-one showdown with a samurai-like boss, who’s quite a departure from the towering sea witch you face at the end of the ship stage.
