Get Your Hands on Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon Today... With Some Exceptions

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is officially out today and available for digital download, for most of us at least. Developer Inti Creates, who collaborated with Koji Igarashi and the Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night team on this project, announced that the retro horror release has been delayed for some markets.

The Nintendo 3DS version of the title will now release on May 31st while all Xbox One players will have to wait until June 6th to play it. Here's the official statement.

While this is certainly a bummer for all players affected by this delay, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon might just be worth the wait for fans of classic Castlevania-style games. For those who don't have to hold out for the delayed versions, the game is now available for digital purchase on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PC, and Vita worldwide, and on the Nintendo 3DS everywhere other than Europe.

Is this a day one pick-up for you? We're certainly looking forward to playing it.
