Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement Game's New Gameplay Trailer Streamed
The "XBox Tokyo Game Show 2026" stream on Thursday revealed a new trailer for ArtPlay and 505 Games' Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement game. The gameplay trailer highlights new characters, environments, enemies, and new gameplay mechanics.
The game's official website announced last month the game has been delayed to 2027. ArtPlay co-founder Koji Igarashi stated that the game has entered the final stages of development.
The game was initially announced for release this year for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
ArtPlay and 505 Games describe the game:
Set in a haunting world years before the events of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement follows Leo and the fearless Black Wolves as they prepare to storm the cursed Ethereal Castle and confront the rising darkness. Under the command of Lord Theodore, the warriors face horrific beasts and the malevolent Demon Lord Elias in a brutal battle for humanity's survival.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night launched for the PlayStation 4, Windows, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One in June 2019. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon launched for the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PlayStation Vita, and Windows in May 2018, and for Xbox One in June 2018. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 launched for PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC via Steam in July 2020.
ArtPlay creative director SHUTARO (Shutaro Iida), who was also leading the development of Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement, died on February 10 due to pancreatic cancer. Igarashi stated then that the staff will strive to complete the game worthy of SHUTARO's vision and name.
