Like vampires, Castlevania has been dormant for years, but Konami’s classic vampire-slaying franchise is finally starting to wake up thanks to projects like Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania.
Released earlier this week, the decreed DLC stars Richter Belmont and Alucard, half-jokingly referred to by Tsutomu Taniguchi, supervisor of Konami Returns to Castlevania, as another world.
“Is ‘Isekai’ a buzzword? Because that’s how I define this storyline,” Taniguchi told IGN in a new interview. Let’s say what happened stays on the island.”
No, Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania isn’t canon, but it’s a fun reimagining of the old-school platformer that started on the NES in 1986. IGN’s review called it “a glorious blueprint for how to do crossovers right.”
