Stunlock Studios have announced a collaboration with Konami Digital Entertainment to bring the Legacy of Castlevania to the world of V Rising.
In their Steam announcement post, the collaboration will feature the hero of the Belmont Clan, Simon Belmont and his arsenal of holy weaponry facing against the player. Defeating him will grant the player a new weapon embodying the grace and precision of the famous vampire hunter: the whip.
While the collaboration content will be free upon purchase of the game, Rising V will also offer a cosmetic Legacy of Castlevania Premium Pack DLC which will unlock Castlevania themed castle decorations, character customization options and a new skeletal mount.
CEO of Stunlock Studios, Rickard Frisegård said, “We’re all big fans of Castlevania, so being able to actually create original Castlevania content in our game is a dream come true. I want to express a heartfelt thank you to our friends at KONAMI for the chance to bring Castlevania to the V Rising universe. This has been an opportunity for us to channel our love and effort for their games into this collaboration, and we look forward to you being able to experience it for yourself on May 8th!”
V Rising is currently in early access on Steam. The collaboration content and the DLC will be available when the game full launches on 8 May 2024.
