Opinion: How will Project 2025 impact game developers?
The Heritage Foundation's manifesto for the possible next administration could do great harm to many, including large portions of the game development community.
The team at WayForward Technologies (Shantae: Half Genie Hero, The Mummy Demastered) have signed on to help finish development of Koji Igarashi's Kickstarted Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
The team behind Kickstarted Castlevania: Symphony of the Night spiritual successor Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night today announced that veteran dev WayForward has signed on to help finish up the game's development.
It's a notable team-up given WayForward's experience developing 2D action games (including The Mummy Demastered and the Shantae series), though it's unclear what the studio will be doing beyond general bug-squashing.
"As you may already know, they are top-tier when it comes to side-scrolling action games. There is even a staff member who previously worked on one of my projects, which is incredibly encouraging," reads a Bloodstained Kickstarter update attributed to project frontman Koji "IGA" Igarashi. "With WayForward's help, [the Bloodstained dev team] have been busy helping to improve the game and fix any bugs that pop up."
Successfully crowdfunded in 2015 to the tune of $5.5 million, Bloodstained is still slated to ship sometime in 2019. Earlier this year collaborator Inti Creates released a spinoff demake, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, that seemed to sell quite well -- especially on the Nintendo Switch.
