Plus a pleasant chat with composer Michiru Yamane

For this month’sbacker updateforBloodstained: Ritual of the Night, designer IGA spoke with composer Michiru Yamane, whose music you’ll know and surely dig from games likeCastlevania: Symphony of the Night(yep, there it goes — it’s stuck in my head again aaaand now I’m looking upconcert footage).

And next is Gieremund, “a fast-moving, beast-type demon that attacks on all fours.”
