Cool! The first Bloodstained and it's 2D counterparts were really great at filling that castlevania hole.

Is co op confirmed? On their website it says you control both characters, but I didn't see anything saying there was co op (unless I just missed it)

It seems like it, but isn’t crystal clear. The Steam listing has “online co-op” listed, but Artplay doesn’t talk about it in their press. I’ve seen other places highlight it, but they could be mistaken.
