"Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2" will be released on July 10, a new trailer reveals. The game was only announced earlier last week, so it's a nice surprise to get our hands on the 8-bit style action platformer as soon as possible.

The original "Curse of the Moon" was a decent, albeit conservative, take on "Bloodstained: this was Castlevania Symphony of the Night,"

[8] [9] [10] The original "Bloodstained: this was a decent, albeit conservative, take on Castlevania Symphony of the Night. These retro spin-offs are straight-up action platformers, much like the old 8-bit versions of Castlevania. Run, jump, and kill things .......

The sequel has a two-player co-op mode, where each player can choose from a selection of playable characters. In this regard, Miriam, Alfred, and Gebel are confirmed as playable characters in the trailer, all of which are familiar to those who have played the other two "Bloodstained" games.

The new trailer is embedded below. For those who can't wait to play something similar right now, we highly recommend "Odallus," a very well done but completely unnoticed 8-bit action platformer.
