About

Castlevania Dominus Collection is a compilation of the three Castlevania games made for the Nintendo DS — Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia — gathered for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Nintendo Switch on August 27, 2024. It was developed by M2, the studio known for careful rereleases of classic games.

The three titles are action platformers in the Metroidvania mold the series helped define, sending hunters and heirs of the Belmont legacy through a castle and beyond it in search of Dracula’s ruin. In one collection, the DS era’s scattered chapters stand together, as the dark always intended.
