Dead Cells Return to Castlevania

Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania is an add-on that brings Castlevania characters, weapons and a gothic castle into Dead Cells’ fast-paced combat. After a gateway to the castle appears, Richter asks you to help defeat the evil within. You set out in search of loot, fighting through the castle’s grounds and corridors to find Dracula.

Explore Dracula’s castle

The add-on includes two levels and a new storyline. You navigate flame-lit corridors, gloomy tombs, secret rooms and halls lined with paintings, with food hidden in the walls. The castle is populated by monsters including harpies, werewolves and haunted armors.

Richter Belmont and Alucard accompany you, helping you navigate the maze and providing weapons, sometimes willingly and sometimes not. Powerful foes try to stop you from reaching the throne room.

Fight with Castlevania weapons

You can unlock 14 weapons, including the Vampire Killer, Throwing Axe and Holy Water. Each is adapted to Dead Cells’ fast-paced combat while retaining its original essence, and you use them against Dracula’s monsters and Dracula himself.

Face three bosses

The three boss fights include duels against Death and Dracula, each set against a majestic backdrop. Surviving those fights leads to another boss showdown.

Music and outfits

The add-on includes an alternative soundtrack of 51 original Castlevania tunes that can be heard throughout the game. It also features Dead Cells-style reimaginings of 12 tracks, including Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears and Simon Belmont’s Theme.

You can unlock 20 character outfits as you progress through the castle. They include Alucard, Richter Belmont, Simon Belmont, Maria Renard, Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades and Dracula.
