Castlevania returns, with the daughter of Trevor Belmont, Rose accompanying her father to once again take down the duke of darkness and his army of hellish minions with a new focus on whip-based movement and fast-paced combat.
We do love a Metroidvaia, so obviously coming back to the source of one of those titles is a real treat. The game looks fantastic so far, lovely graphics, smooth action and some tasty looking bosses to fight, we're very much looking forward to the game's launch on October 15th.
We'll be taking the version with an artbook please
Synopsis:
1499. Paris is engulfed in flames as monstrous creatures suddenly emerge from the shadows.
Trevor Belmont, the hero who defeated Dracula, ventures into the burning streets with his daughter, Rose Belmont. Armed with the legendary holy whip, the Vampire Killer, they hunt down the beasts bleeding from the looming castle.
Rose is soon swept up in the dark conspiracy that lurks beneath. Will she succeed in saving Paris from devastation?
For now, enjoy the trailer and mark your diaries.
