Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night screenshot of the new Journey inspired boss in The Tunnels level

[Update]: The crossover patch has now been unleashed, and as expected, the big reward is a fancy new scarf!

I have no idea why the Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night team has suddenly started doing wacky crossovers, but I'm all for it! A while back they added Aurora from Child of Light as a fully playable character, and this August 23rd we'll be getting a brand new level inspired by thatgamecompany's Journey!

The new section of the castle, The Tunnels, will be themed after the imagery and level design of Journey, though with a Bloodstained twist. Hidden behind a secret entrance, The Tunnels will be a large and potentially complex area to explore, with a Guardian-inspired boss waiting for you at the very end. Should you manage to succeed you'll get a special Journey-inspired equippable item - probably the iconic scarf.

In order to access The Tunnels you will first need to free Gabel and unlock the Den of Behemoths. Once you've done that the room with the doorway leading towards The Tunnels will be marked on the castle map. Simply head to the highlighted area and you'll be ready to dive into the new content.

Once the update goes live I'll make sure to let you know. Until then, you can read the accompanying (and extremely small) Update 1.4 patch notes over at the official website. Enjoy!
