Following our review of Enders Zone: The Second Runner MARS Yesterday, we suggested that Konami give other reissues of classic games because they could do serious business on the PS4 front. Well, based on a recent rating by a South Korean board, this could happen with one of the largest franchises in the company.
Based on this announcement, the company is preparing a compilation for PS4 titled Castlevania Requiem, which should include two classic titles of Castlevania series, possibly remastered from their original sources. And just in the title, we get a hint of what we are looking for because the collection will include Symphony of the night and Rondo of Blood, also known as Dracula X.
Anyone who is tough Castlevania fan knows what Symphony is all about. The game, originally released in 1997, has become a classic of the original PlayStation, thanks to its open-world design, its role-playing style and impressive presentation, not to mention the incredible boss encounters. The game has since been re-released for Xbox 360 as a digital download (and made backwards compatible with Xbox One); and was also included with Castlevania: the chronicles of Dracula X for PlayStation Portable and Vita.
Meanwhile, Rondo of Blood is a more curious entry into the Castlevania series. It was originally released on the Turbo-Grafx CD in the '90s, presenting an old-fashioned playing style with a gorgeous soundtrack. The game has never been released in the US before Nintendo added it to the Wii Virtual Console service as a digital download. A version of Rondo of Blood came out for Super Nintendo under the name Castlevania: Dracula Xbut since then it has become a rarity.
Konami has not said anything officially about this collection yet, but it's Tokyo Game Show week, so an announcement could be imminent. There is no doubt that this small collection should be very popular with fans, especially if the games have extra features or some form of remaster, so they look better than ever.
But why stop at both games? It would be an excellent opportunity to present even more Castlevania titles for fans to enjoy. Remember Castlevania The rebirth of adventure for the Wii? Or how about Lines of Castlevania for the Sega Genesis? Heck, let's go and throw the classics of the NES for a new generation, especially Castlevania III: The curse of Dracula.
Ah, well, one thing at a time, we suppose. We will keep you informed as soon as Castlevania Requiem is officialized!
