“We’re all big fans of Castlevania, so being able to actually create original Castlevania content in our game is a dream come true,” said Stunlock Studios CEO Rickard Frisegard in a statement. “I want to express a heartfelt thank you to our friends at Konami for the chance to bring Castlevania to the V Rising universe. This has been an opportunity for us to channel our love and effort for their games into this collaboration, and we look forward to you being able to experience it for yourself on May 8!”

In collaboration with Konami Digital Entertainment, Stunlock Studios proudly presents “Legacy of Castlevania”! The mighty hero of the Belmont Clan, Simon Belmont, is here to challenge all of Vampire kind. Wielding his legendary Vampire Killer and an infamous arsenal of holy weaponry, no night stalker will be safe from his righteous crusade through Vardoran. Defeat him and unlock the secrets of a brand new weapon, the whip, adapting new combat abilities that embody the grace and precision of the deadly Vampire hunter!
All vampires will be able to face the Belmont heir to test their skills in battle, but you will also have additional opportunities to fully immerse yourself in the spirit of Castlevania. The “Legacy of Castlevania Premium Pack” cosmetic downloadable content will be available to purchase, allowing players to construct their own castles inspired by our adoration for the classic Castlevania aesthetic. Craft spellbinding castle decor, enjoy character customization options inspired by legendary Castlevania characters, and ride the new spooky skeletal mount. Set the tone with a symphony of Castlevania music in your castle, with two classic themes reimagined by V Rising composer Aleksandria Migova. It’s time to embark on a journey into darkness as V Rising arrives in its full glory on May 8, with the free content of “Legacy Of Castlevania” and the purchasable cosmetic downloadable content. More details to be revealed soon!
V Rising is available now in Early Access for PC via Steam, and will launch fully on May 8. A PlayStation 5 version is due out later in 2024.
