In a few hours, Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania will debut, a major expansion for Motion Twin’s popular platformer.
Today marks the start of Return to Castlevania, the biggest expansion yet for hit platformer Dead Cells.
- The DLC will be released on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Thanks to compatibility, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S owners will also be able to play the DLC.
- The PC version will be available for purchase on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com.
- The DLC will debut today, but as of now we don’t know the exact release time.
- Mobile editions are planned for iOS and Android devices, but these editions will be released at a later date.
- Return to Castlevania is a non-standalone DLC, so the full version of Dead Cells is required.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the DLC which promises to be excellent. It seems to be the perfect crossover: the Castlevania series has been one of the main inspirations of the authors of Dead Cells, so we are curious to see what they will present, having the opportunity to create an official project of this brand.
The DLC will offer an extensive plot directly related to Castlevania, in which we will fight alongside the characters of the series. The expansion will introduce two new biomes, three bosses, and fourteen weapons to the game, including holy water.
As a bonus, the DLC includes a secret level. After finding it, players can take on the role of vampire hunter Richter Belmont, well known to Castlevania fans. The character has a moveset inspired by that of the iconic Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, in which this character played the first violin.
Finally, remember that previously the game received the free DLC Rise of the Giant and three paid expansions in the form of The Bad Seed, Fatal Falls and Dead Cells: The Queen and the Sea.
