Child Of Light’s Aurora Joins Bloodstained As Free DLC Tomorrow

Aurora, the determined main character of Ubisoft’s Child of Light will now be playable on select platforms as an avatar in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, which launches March 31st. In 2019, she was first teased along with Yacht Club Games’ Shovel knight.

Bloodstain’s publisher 505 Games shared a trailer that teases Aurora’s imminent inclusion. You can find more information in the new blog post. The context for her arrival in the new franchise is briefly explained. 

Aurora has lost her way, and she is now in an unfamiliar, dangerous land. She must escape with her Sword of Matildis, accompanied by Igniculus. Aurora, despite her dire circumstances, isn’t alone. Johannes will help her to increase her power, by transmuting the items she finds in chests during the game,” Jason Ryan from 505 Games is the community manager.

Aurora is free to use and you can choose her as your playable character for a Bloodstained campaign. She’ll be listed alongside the game’s native characters, Miriam and Zangetsu. 

The DLC will not be available in all versions of Bloodstained yet. Tomorrow marks Aurora’s arrival on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, but Switch owners will have to wait for an unspecified later date.

Child of Light is a 2014 turn-based RPG developed by Ubisoft Montreal that stars Aurora, a princess who finds herself in another world and fights for a way back home with the help of her firefly partner Igniculus who also appears in the Bloodstained DLC. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is the spiritual successor to Koji Igarashi’s games in the style of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which released in 2019 following a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015.
