The superb rogue-like action-platformer Dead Cells from Motion Twin and Evil Empire is getting a Castlevania-themed DLC next year. With Return to Castelvania, Evil Empire promises a spooky adventure through two new biomes themed around Dracula’s Castle’s spooky outskirts and candlelit interior.
There’s a new storyline starring Richter Belmont and Alucard, a 60-tune soundtrack featuring original Castlevania music. And new weapons like the Vampire Killer and Throwing Axe. These weapons can be used against mermen, bone throwers, haunted armour and, of course, Dracula himself – one of three bosses in the DLC. As if it wasn’t obvious, we’ve taken great care to create that Castlevania atmosphere,” says Evil Empire. “There are secret rooms, beautiful paintings, and chicken legs everywhere.”
