Richter Belmont and Alucard will be by your side throughout your quest to vanquish Dracula, helping you to navigate the maze of Dracula’s Castle and providing you with strong weapons (sometimes willingly, sometimes not). On top of this, we've taken the 12 most iconic tracks, such as Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears and Simon Belmont's Theme, and reimagined them in the style of Dead Cells as a soundtrack for this DLC, while preserving the Castlevania ambiance of course.
We're giving you access to an alternative soundtrack made of 51 of the original Castlevania tunes, that can be heard across the entire game.

Full of original monsters from the series, such as harpies, werewolves & haunted armors, the character of the iconic castle will transport you into the realms of gothic fantasy. Each item has been translated into the fast-paced combat of Dead Cells while keeping their original essence. Unlock 14 iconic weapons such as the Vampire Killer, Throwing Axe & Holy Water to decimate Dracula's bestiary of monsters and finally the dark lord himself. Slay hordes of his supernatural minions as you progress through our biggest DLC yet, including two levels, three bosses and a new storyline! But then storytelling never was much of a Castlevania virtue.The inspiration behind it all returns to its 2D action roots! Castlevania’s unforgettable characters & gothic setting meet the fast-paced combat of the award-winning roguelite Dead Cells in this unprecedented collaboration.Ī gateway to a striking castle has suddenly appeared, and an imposing warrior called Richter asks you to help him vanquish the great evil within.Įnticed by the promise of new loot rather than a sense of moral duty, you strike out through the grounds and corridors of the gothic castle to find and kill this mysterious Dracula. There’s not much of a story though, with the expansion’s tone being that of a pub tribute band getting all excited at the prospect of meeting its idols. You still play as the nameless prisoner of the Dead Cells games but there are skins that let you dress up as characters like Simon Belmont, while the likes of Richter and Alucard turn up occasionally for a quick cameo. Their origins are in Castlevania but they’re handled like Dead Cells weapons, with various upgrades and buffs available – as they are for any of the game’s equipment. There’re also versions of many of the series’ most famous sub-weapons, such as bottles of holy water that are thrown like napalm and the boomerang-esque cross. Naturally, many of the enemies are also the same, from Dracula and Death, all the way down to the skeletons and fishmen.
With the expansion eager to stimulate your nostalgia glands with as much vigour as possible, not only does this look like Castlevania but it sounds like it too, with multiple remixes of famous tracks as well as original versions. That’s a double-edge sword though as while it’s a lot of fun in the moment it can all be over disappointingly quickly, with none of the backtracking you’d expect of a true Metroidvania. This works extremely well and while the levels that are generated are always rather small, they do still make sense in terms of the interconnected lock and key puzzles within them.
