Last week, classic PlayStation title Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was rated in Korea for PlayStation 4, usually a dead giveaway that an official announcement is imminent. All eyes were on Tokyo Game Show over the weekend, but the reveal never arrived.
Fans need not worry, however, as the reported PS4 remastered collection that includes both Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood, titled Castlevania: Requiem, has now been rated in North America by the ESRB. Yep, it's definitely happening.
Now we just have to wait for Konami to wake up and announce this sucker.

SWEET! that's another for my pre-order list
@FullbringIchigo don't pre-order bro, Konami may want to microtransact the hell out of this. $10.00 for Belmont's whip
@Turismo4GT normally i would agree with it being a Konami game but i think this one should be OK, i don't think there isn't really anyway the can add MT's to it
Nice. Definitely day one.
@FullbringIchigo hope you're right, but don't be surprised if they do find a way.
Already have the PSP collection for these and not exactly keen on giving Konami money these days.
I'm ok with handing over Konami some money now they're finally doing something cool again.
My body is ready.
Alright, bringing in some classic Castlevania. I’ll definitely pick it up. Maybe Konami is trying to come back. Rumble Roses 3 baby.
Does anyone agree with me that Symphony of the Night is one of the best titles for a game ever? There's just something about it I've always loved about, the fact it's also an all time classic helps too.
I dont get how Konami handles its old IPs at all. They restructured to make more money, but how can they not see, that their history is basically a money making machine.
Imagine a Castlevania Legacy Collection, like the Mega Man ones from Capcom. Imagine they would finally officially rerelease Bloodlines... escpecially on Switch, the first Nintendo console in over a decade that has no Virtual Console sevice. Little effort (a solid emulator with some visual options and the roms) big sales....
I REALLY want to be excited and hype for this, but I just have a feeling they are going to screw this up somehow.
If this happens to be true the PS1 classic might not have this game and that would be disappointing
Castlvania Symphony of the Night is my favorite games of the series! Never played Rondo of Blood, but looks like i can change that soon hopefully!!!
@Fearful-Octopus to me Rondo of blood is the best of the original style Castlevania games before it took on the metroidvania style with symphony of the night.
Both great games really excited to be playing them again on ps4
@Kidfried re-releasing some old games once in a blue moon is not exactly cool. they are just exploiting their legacy titles for a quick buck... they are still a backwards, creatively stunted company with zero intention in developing NEW sequels of their all but forgotten ip. heck, they can't even manage to make a silent hill collection on ps4 that corrects the problems of the shoddy ps3 collection. how about porting mgs 4 to ps4? nope. reviving suikoden with a new entry? contra? nope. NOT cool.
I'll probably just stick with my Vita download of The Dracula X Chronicles, which features both of these games.
With that said, I'm delighted that more people will soon be exposed to the best Castlevania game (and SOTN as well, I guess).
@ReigningSemtex Cool yes very excited!
Day 1 purchase for me SOTN is one of the true all time greats from the PS1 era, I had the black disc version place that in a cd player and you could listen to the secret tracks ob it
It would be nice if Symphony was remastered in wide screen.
I've bought this game like - 4 times already.
@Medic_alert
And Alucard and co as assist trophies. It's gotta mean something like Cloud before them.
What is a man?
@FullbringIchigo
its konami they will find a way.
@GKO900 this is konami though so you can bet they will want to make as much money as possible and IF Sony wanted it on the classic you can be sure they would sell it to them even IF this collection turns out to be true
@FullbringIchigo Well hopefully otherwise it would be disappointing not to see Castlevania on the PS1 classic even if I'm also planning to get the remastered lol
On my to get list! Xbox? Switch??
@ShogunRok by the way they released the trailer on youtube, it's now officially confirmed, 26th October
