Castlevania Requiem Confirmed Exclusively for PS4, Includes Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood

day one buy for me

"You can see them both in action in the shortest announcement trailer in history, embedded above."

Is it really that short?

[watches trailer]

Wow it was really that short.

Epic soundtrack

Is this getting a retail release?

Perfect for PS4 TM.

I’ll probably pick this up at some point, but I’ve only just beat the Dracula X Chronicles on vita.
Wish this came out 3 months ago.

Nicee, I'll take it day one

Would sell better on Switch and high sales numbers would be a good signal for the developers to keep on bringing sweet Castlevania stuff to PS4. But oh well... Day One also for me.

YESSSSSS! my 2 fave castlevaina games in one package now i won't feel guilty playing my ps1 copy of symphony of the night

2 excellent games, especially Rondo of Blood. Hopefully there is a filter free graphics option because I can't stand smoothing.

Not sure how two old games constitutes, "an all-new console experience," but I'm down to play SotN again regardless.

Day one! Just in time for Halloween! 😀🙌🎃

@Lando Port begging already? People don’t appreciate this stuff.

I bought Symphony of the Night with some Christmas money the day after Christmas in 1998.
Was the best $20 I ever spent on a game.

@adf86 Same here. At least I finally will have a convenient way to play the original Rondo. I was almost about to look at emulating the PSP remake just so I could play the original because I was having a hard time finding either the PC Engine one or the Windows port I heard about.

@Lando I know how people here feel about mentioning Switch ports, but yeah I agree. I prefer these retro games on a format I can take with me.

Sadly probably won't be day one for me, as I will be SWAMPED with games, including RDR2. I'm definitely getting this at some point though, unless they botch the emulation. Two of my favorite CV games in one package is pretty sweet. I do wish they could have included the remade version from the PSP but hey, this is good too.

Only way this could get any better is if they announced CV3 with it, but I don't think I could actually handle that.

Surprised it's exclusive and not on Switch given how well, sales wise, that Bloodstained game performed. Still SOTN is a great game and never played Rondo so would like to pick this up at some point, when depends on if my kids are hogging the PS4 when it releases which is very likely given the upcoming release schedule!

Getting this beaut.
I had the japanese SOTN on import way back when on PS1 and it came with a booklet of gorgeous illustrations.
Wish I'd kept it now.

"Exclusively for PS4"

Welp, my library will have it exclusively for PSP/Vita instead. 1080p is rarely a self-sufficient selling point in general, let alone when you're gonna experience it exclusively in 544p anyway. XD

But man, that feeling when Vita doesn't even get remasters of PORTABLE collections anymore.

@Bliquid pretty much ALL open and semi-open worlds of all sizes are more ar home on a portable. You get more time to allocate for various aspects from story and extensive travels to more bite-sized routine like traversing and backtracking, solving puzzles, leisurely lurking around in search of that one last collectible, even doing mini-games and challenges.

@nhSnork 😓 a sad day!

I want this

I just need Symphony of the Night tbh but once it's on sale it is gonna be mine! Superb game

Microsoft E3 Voice: E X C L U S I V E

If it’s physical I’ll triple dip. I already have SOTN on ps1 and I have dracula X chronicles on psp which includes SOTN.

I still have Symphony on PS1, but I might get this to play Rondo since I never played it before.

Dang, I know this is a PS4 website, but I was kind of hoping this would come to switch lol.

Wait a sec. Aren't those Konami games? Don't we hate Konami or something?

I love Castlevania and would have bought them in a heartbeat either on psvita or on ps4, but with better graphics. As they are, they just feel wrong to me.

How people complain about non perfect graphics in some AA(A) games and give old or indie games a free pass is still beyond me.

One game I wish they would throw in as well is Castlevania Rebirth

Would have preferred it on Switch, but still very cool. Feel like it's not been that long since I last played SotN but never played Rondo so will be tempted just for that!

Day one purchase, SOTN is great and Rondo of Blood is even better for me now we just need Super Castlevania IV

I will most likely buy this, but I'll wait at least a year for a Switch version.

before you guys get too excited... was this konami's way of backing out of the ps1 classic? very doubtful we will see it on the mini console now... konami likely figured it can make more money releasing it like this... the bastards. it is hard to go out of my way and buy a specific konami product like this so i won't...

@naruball agreed. amazing how quickly people forget that konami is a company that should not be supported. they are creatively bankrupt and will get by for a while by simply re-releasing old games... seems to be a good strategy for them in getting the general public to "forget".

Tried it on Xbox One but the controller isn't suited for this type of game to me and the achievements wouldn't unlock.

Boooo! Where's the Vita version! I already have the PSP collection (on Vita and physically on PSP), but I want them TROPHIES!!!

Less content than Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP (also same price as the Mega Man collections which had four games minimum), no physical version, and exclusive? I mean, they're both great games, but ffs Konami...

@Porco it could still be on there for example Mario is on the Switch but still on the NES Mini

Dual-wielded Crissaegrims, here I come!!!

@Hordak I remember farming that weapon for quite some time, that and Vorpal Blade

@FullbringIchigo true, but nes classic came out prior to the switch classic games... but we shall see soon enough.

I would've preferred it on the Switch honestly but I suppose I take what I can get.

Day one for sure

If you pre-order you get this discounted. I made sure to do so. Been a long time since I played Symphony of the Night, can't wait to do so again on PS4. It is one of the best 2D games of all-time.

@PS_Nation Nah, I dont like the Switch as much as I love my PS4 and Vita. To be honest, I hate that thing and all the hype around it. But people tend to buy niche titles on Switch like crazy, while PlayStation is becoming more and more a CoD, Fifa and Battlefield machine. Sadly. To give developers a proper sign, that there is enough interest for their games, to keep on creating them, they need to sell well, dont they? That's because a Switch version of such titles would never be wrong. I'd buy it on Vita and PS4 anyway. I'm more of a Sony fan.
