After the initial announcement back in TGA 2022, we finally know the release date for the upcoming Dead Cells Return to Castlevania DLC.
Dead Cells Return to Castlevania DLC Release Date: March 6, 2023
Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania will come out on March 6, 2023. It will arrive on all platforms that Dead Cells is playable in. However, pre-orders are now open for the Nintendo Switch, as well as on PC via the Epic Games Store. Players can wishlist the DLC on Steam.
This crossover DLC won’t be like the previous crossovers. Previous crossovers usually only have a weapon and/or a skin introduced in the game. As this is a full-blown DLC, we will be getting more than that. Players will be able to experience two new biomes, as well as a new storyline. While going through this new storyline and biome, players will be able to listen to 51 Castlevania tracks, as well as 12 reimagined tracks. Of course, they will also be facing a lot of new enemies, many of which are staples of the Castlevania series. Not only that but there will also be three bosses introduced to the game. Obviously, one of them is going to be Dracula himself.
Thankfully, you won’t be venturing into Dracula’s castle unarmed. The DLC brings various new weapons to Dead Cells, all of which are iconic weapons from the Castlevania series. This includes the Vampire Killer, the Holy Water, and the Throwing Axe. There’s even Alucard’s Sword, Alucard’s Shield, the Whip Sword, and the Bible. Not only that but there are also 20 new outfits coming to the game, so you can dress up as your favorite Castlevania characters as you explore Dracula’s castle. All of this content is shaping this up to be Dead Cell’s biggest DLC yet.
Around the end of February, Motion Twin also released a short teaser for the DLC. As Castlevania is one of the development team’s main sources of inspiration with Dead Cells, it was only fitting that they created a DLC for it. Although it took a while to get it worked out, it is finally coming soon.
Additionally, after almost four months, the Return To Castlevania DLC is now making its way to the mobile versions of the game. The mobile releases of Dead Cells on iOS and Android are usually a few months behind when it comes to content or DLC. As such, they didn’t get the DLC until now. Players can now buy the DLC on their respective devices as an in-app purchase. Afterward, they are free to play through the DLC, explore Dracula’s castle, and more.
Dead Cells is a Metroidvania roguelite game where players start from the beginning after each death. Alongside this new DLC, players can also check out its three other DLCs: The Bad Seed, Fatal Falls, and The Queen and the Sea. These DLCS have their own share of new weapons, enemies, skins, and more. Additionally, players will also be able to enjoy various other crossovers with other indie games. The latest one is the Everyone is Here Volume 2 crossover, which brings in weapons from Terraria, shovel Knight, Hotline Miami, Katana Zero, Slay The Spire, and Risk of Rain.
