Looks like Castlevania: SOTN spiritual successor Bloodstained will get a PS Vita port

On May 30th, Koji Igarashi and his studio Inti Creates announced new Kickstarter stretch goals for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.

One of those is a PS Vita port of the game if the crowdfunding effort can reach $3,500,000. Here we are a few days and there's less than $200,000 to go in order to reach it.

And with eight days left on the Kickstarter to do so, it's fair to say that a PS Vita port of Bloodstained will be secured before then. 

The PS Vita port will be handled by Armature Games, who previously ported Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection, The Unfinished Swan, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, and Injustice: Gods Among Us to PS Vita.

Armature said that it will consider working with the touchscreen on the PS Vita.

"We'll also be working with the development team on the PS4 version to see what we can do to make both platforms complement each other," Armature added.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which is widely considered the best Castlevania game. 

The Kickstarter campaign has received a lot of support, probably because Koji Igarashi is leading the project, and he was the producer on Symphony of the Night (SOTN).

SOTN is so influential on game design that its namesake, along with Metroid, has been lent to the term "metroidvania."

It was previously released as an unlockable bonus game on the PSP game Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, which is also available on PS Vita.

Bloodstained shares similar traits to SOTN that it will be a 2D exploration-focused action platformer. It will have you playing as Miriam as she battles through a demon-filled gothic castle before a curse takes her life.
