We are excited to announce Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement, an entirely new 2.5D side-scrolling action RPG. Helmed by Creative Director Shutaro and produced by Iga, this duo is renowned for creating games which are famous for their 2D exploration-style side-scrolling action gameplay.

Set in the iconic, gothic world created for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, this newest installment in the Bloodstained saga brings the rich gameplay and storytelling of its predecessor to all new heights!

Cool! The first Bloodstained and it's 2D counterparts were really great at filling that castlevania hole.

Is co op confirmed? On their website it says you control both characters, but I didn't see anything saying there was co op (unless I just missed it)

It seems like it, but isn’t crystal clear. The Steam listing has “online co-op” listed, but Artplay doesn’t talk about it in their press. I’ve seen other places highlight it, but they could be mistaken.
