We decided to launch this version on a multi-platform so that as many people as possible can enjoy these games on their consoles.
The Castlevania series celebrates its 35th anniversary this year thanks to the support of fans and, of course, everyone involved in its development. As a producing team, we are honored to work on this series and will continue to strive to make Castlevania known and playable to as many people as possible. Thank you for your support!”
