BRotN new character

Hello Strikers! We know you have been waiting for some more exciting news about Bloodstained, and today we are happy to deliver! Straight from the Gamescom conference in Germany happening this week in a presentation delivered at the Microsoft Press Conference, IGA announced two awesome new features for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night!

First and foremost, players who purchase the Xbox One version of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will be able to enjoy cross-play functionality with Windows 10 right from the get-go!

We also have information on a new character that will be joining the cast of Bloodstained! While we put the finishing touches on his design and come up with a name for him, we can tell you that:

– He is a demon hunter who wields a katana

– Uses Japanese mystic “Ofuda” type spells

– He did battle with the demons that came to Earth ten years before the events of the Bloodstained game take place

We look forward to revealing information about this character in the future! Stay tuned to what’s going on at Gamescom for more potential announcements involving Inti Creates! 😉

A Recap of Too Many Games, Our First North American Fan Event Appearance

3 Comments

toomanygames

As Inti Creates, we have been going to events in North America for many years now, however, during the times we did make the trip abroad, those trips have been to big industry events such as E3, GDC, and the like. To this point, we had never been to any sort of fan event before as Inti Creates where we had tables, panels and the like, but that changed last weekend when we attended Too Many Games last weekend in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

We were invited by the convention to not only attend, but have a large booth on the show floor, run a panel, and participate in an autograph signing session, and that’s exactly what we did! While big industry events like E3 are an amazing experience, Too Many Games gave us a chance to really showcase our games and connect with fans outside of Japan in way that we were never able to do before. The responses from fans were as enlightening as they were humbling and heartwarming.

Since Too Many Games went over so well, we can all but assure you that we as Inti Creates will be attending more fan events like this outside of Japan in the future. Where and when those will be though, has yet to be determined. If you are interested in having us as guests at your convention, feel free to contact us about it.

Now, enjoy some photos from our Too Many Games adventure! ^o^v

Inti Creates Will be At Too Many Games 2015 in Philadelphia

1 Comment

toomanygames

It gives me great pleasure to announce that we here at Inti Creates will be guests at the upcoming Too Many Games convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from June 26-June 28. This is a very special event for us because while we have been to game-related events overseas before like E3, GDC, and PAX, this is the first time we have been invited to be guests at a fan-event in North America.

Too Many Games has oodles of fun events, from concerts and a massive marketplace, to panels, an indie game showcase, and a lot more! As a former attendee of this event when I lived in the US before coming to Japan, Too Many Games has always been a favorite convention of mine, and I am super stoked to be a part of it this year as a member of Inti Creates.

We will have a booth in the marketplace, an Inti Creates panel, and who knows what other shenanigans may come about, so if you are in the Philadelphia area from June 26th to June 28th, come on out to Too Many Games and say hello! We would love to meet you!
