Release date and exclusive contents
Over this discussion, some fans are angry with the premium contents. As the franchise made backers exclusive content which includes the Iga Boss and the Swordwhip that are available for players. Bloodstained became a live project in 2015 as a Kickstarter project under the guidance of Castlevania producer, Igarashi. From that, it earned around 5.5 US million dollars however the record was broken by Shenmue after 3 months.
