Our take on Castlevania Anniversary Collection
Rather than presenting one new adventure, this release uses an archival format: multiple older platformers are grouped with a historical eBook. Its structure shifts attention from a single campaign to the series’ early catalogue and surrounding creative context.
What is Castlevania Anniversary Collection?
Castlevania Anniversary Collection brings together eight games from the vampire-hunting series, spanning the original Castlevania, Simon’s Quest, Dracula’s Curse, Super Castlevania IV, The Adventure, Belmont’s Revenge, Bloodlines and Kid Dracula.
The collection follows the Belmont clan, related bloodlines and their allies in conflicts with Dracula. Kid Dracula was previously unavailable in English. Alongside the games, it includes History of Castlevania - Book of the Crescent Moon, an eBook containing material from developers, artists and others connected with the series. The collection presents these platformers as an introduction to Castlevania’s early history and releases.
