Konami today revealed it is to resurrect its PSone classic, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, via PlayStation Network.
Regarded as one of the classic additions to the long-running Castlevania series, Symphony of the Night was the first to offer an open-world level design and RPG elements. Played within a 2D world, the user controls Alucard as he explores a sprawling castle in search of his vampiric nemesis, Dracula. Alucard has the ability to switch between three forms – wolf, bat and mist – and can also use whatever weaponry he finds en route against the castle’s many undead and inhuman denizens. Alucard will also learn the ability to use magic and summon familiars as his power grows.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night received a rapturous reception when first launched, and will no doubt delight a new audience of fans today. The game will be available from 10th October, priced £9.99.
