The developers behind Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night promised performance updates and more in their latest patch for the Nintendo Switch version.
Sadly the Nintendo Switch version has been suffering from dodgy bugs and unstable gameplay.
Unfortunately, it looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer before learning what improvements will actually be part of this update.
According to a new Kickstarter post, the game’s latest patch has been submitted to Nintendo for approval. However, the developers avoided specific details about what improvements they were making to “input delay, stability and optimization” – which have been the bulk of Nintendo fans’ complaints. For now, all we know is that the patch will include minor bug fixes and some quality-of-life changes.
