Translated by noisy Pixels:

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night director and lead staff member of the Castlevania DS games Shutaro Iida has announced that he has been diagnosed with cancer.

As a result, despite having already started work on and discussing the sequel to Bloodstained, he has stepped down from development to battle this affliction.

Producer Koji Igarashi has supported Shutaro Iida in confronting and battling his cancer diagnosis. He also stated that the team would try their best to work on the sequel without his active involvement.

Read this today, very sad and heartbreaking. I hope he can still give some details on the game going forward.

I hope Shutaro Iida can quickly get treatment, and fully recover from cancer.
