Dear all,

Today, we are proud to have released Blade Chimera, Team Ladybug's very first original Metroidvania!

Building upon feedback we received from players of Touhou Luna Nights and Record of Lodoss War -Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth-, Blade Chimera has 3 fully original maps and a large variety of sidequests for you to complete. It's a longer, richer experience that any past Team Ladybug game. You could also try out the newest demo available on the Steam page!

One of the game's defining features is the ability to warp anywhere on the map, which is pretty unusual for a Metroidvania. It allows quick, convenient travelling across the large maps without trivializing movement.


Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, one of the most iconic titles by IGA, the great founding father of the Metroidvania genre itself, is collaborating with us to create this bundle. The collaboration is scheduled to last until the end of February.

Actually, IGA, Shutaro, and Ladybug have actually talked in a "Metroidvania round table" before, where Ladybug reveals that he strives to emulate their work in his own. That was what paved the way for this collaboration.

Until today, the discussion was only transcribed in Japanese, but to commemorate this collaboration, we've gotten special permission from Famitsu to translate it into English and Simplified Chinese. The translations are available to read on the PLAYISM website, and there you can read about just how much Ladybug was influenced by Symphony of the Night.

We've also received comments from IGA and Ladybug concerning the Metroidvania New Generation bundle, which are exclusively featured in the following Famitsu article. The comments are only available in Japanese, but you can't read them anywhere else, so we'll share the link with you anyway!

What's more, WSS playground, the producer of Blade Chimera, is having a publisher sale right now, which makes the Team Ladybug Bundle a real steal!
