Fans of freebies and Metroidvanias can rejoice as the latest piece of free Child of Light.
way back in 2020, but it kept on being put back.
Now, finally, the free Bloodstained crossover DLC is getting released tomorrow – March 31 – and it will bring Aurora from 2014's Child of Light to the game. As stated on the website, Aurora is accompanied by her wisp friend Igniculus, who can slow enemies or heal the player. Aurora's main offensive power is Light Ray, an MP-using beam that damages enemies. To play as her, just open up a new game slot and select Aurora as the character you want to play.
You can check out the somewhat pointless teaser trailer below, which marks the DLC's release date as March 10 – either that's a typo, or the DLC was supposed to come out earlier this month.
As for the Castlevania series that inspired Bloodstained, Konami claimed that the recently released Advance Collection wouldn't work on Steam Deck, but it actually does. Bloodstained also works on Steam Deck, incidentally.
