Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

A PlayStation Portable collection that reburies the cult classic Rondo of Blood in full 3D — and drags its legendary sequel, Symphony of the Night, out of the crypt beside it.

About

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is an action game developed and published by Konami, released on October 23, 2007 for the PlayStation Portable. The collection remakes the previously Japan-only Rondo of Blood as a 2.5D side-scroller, following a Belmont on a whip-cracking hunt through Dracula’s castle to rescue the women taken from his village.

Behind the remake lie two unlockable treasures: the original Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night, both presented with new English voice work and script. It is remembered as the moment the West finally got its hands on a lost chapter of the Castlevania lineage — and, with it, the night that never truly ends.
