New Dead Cells: Castlevania Trailer Reveals Retro Levels And Weapons
While a new Castlevania game has yet to materialize, the next best thing for the franchise could be its upcoming crossover with roguelike Dead Cells. The upcoming Return to Castlevania expansion was announced last year during The Game Awards, and this week saw a new trailer released for what Motion Twin and Evil Empire calls the biggest Dead Cells DLC to date.
Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania will pit players against familiar enemies who are skulking about Dracula’s castle. There’ll be two new biomes to explore and 14 weapons to collect, including Castlevania favorites such as the Vampire Killer, Throwing Axe, and Holy Water. Each weapon has been given an overhaul, so expect these tools for dealing with the undead to fit into the fast-paced and frantic style of combat that Dead Cells is known for.
The expansion will be challenging as well, so expect to face tough gauntlets and showdowns with Dracula and Death. There’s even a new storyline to make sense of this crossover, as Return to Castlevania starts with Richard Belmont recruiting The Beheaded to explore Dracula’s home. Not for honor or duty, but mostly for the chance to score some sweet loot.
