So what exactly is in the DLC? Well, there's a main quest featuring Alucard & Richter Belmont, where you'll fight your way several times through both Dracula's Castle and the main island on the way to a final showdown with Dracula in his iconic Throne Room.
Straight from Prisoner's Quarters you'll find an entrance to...
Castle Outskirts
Before you can enter Dracula's Castle, you'll need to venture through the gardens, across the moat and up the ramparts while avoiding traps and fighting off countless evil minions.
Don't get distracted by the view and keep your eyes peeled for hidden pathways, secret rooms and a certain energetic feline...
Dracula's Castle
Moonlight streaming through stained glass windows. Ornate pillars holding up ceilings of magnificent halls. Towering spires pushing into the night sky over fortified battlements.
The beauty of Dracula's Castle hides a dark heart, as undead creatures wait to pounce from every direction. Make your way from the entrance hall to the top of the castle and find the lair of the most powerful vampire of them all...
Boss Fights
This DLC comes with not 1, but 3 new bosses! Death and Dracula take no prisoners and you are no exception. Be prepared for epic battles against majestic backdrops where the winner takes it all...
If you manage to beat these two creatures then prepare yourself for our most ambitious boss showdown yet!
Weapons
14 new weapons can be won in this DLC, like the Vampire Killer, Throwing Axe & Holy Water. Each classic Castlevania item has been translated into the fast-paced combat of Dead Cells while keeping their original essence.
Wield whips, crosses and holy powers to carve your way through hordes of the undead and tame the evil powers of the night.
Richter Mode
Hidden somewhere in the castle is a bizarre room that turns you into the indomitable vampire hunter, Richter Belmont!
Unlocking a moveset inspired by his appearance in Symphony of the Night, you'll storm through a section of the castle finding vania moves and classic weapons that will push all the nostalgia buttons.
Soundtrack
We're giving you access to an alternative soundtrack made of 51 of the original Castlevania tunes, that can be heard across the entire game.
On top of this, we've taken the 12 most iconic tracks, such as Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears and Simon Belmont's Theme, and reimagined them in the style of Dead Cells as a soundtrack for this DLC, while preserving the Castlevania ambiance of course.
Outfits
Unlock 20 outfits as you progress through the castle, letting you roleplay as all your favourite characters like Alucard, Richter Belmont, Simon Belmont, Maria Renard, Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades, or even Dracula!
How much is it?
$9.99/9,99 (or equivalent). The increase in price from the previous DLCs reflects the extra work we've put in to this DLC, as well as the use of the Castlevania IP. The dev team have been working on this for a long time and we think that it shows!
AMA
We'll be running an AMA on r/gaming tomorrow at 16:00 CET, we'll post a link in the Community Hub and on social media, so come ask us all your questions!
That's all, hope you all enjoy the DLC!!
Cheers,
Matt, EE & MT

Roguelite? Metroidvania? Roguevania!
You grew up with the roguelikes, witnessed the rise of the roguelites and even the birth of the roguelite-lites? We'd now like to present for your consideration our RogueVania, the illegitimate child of a modern Roguelite (Rogue Legacy, Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon, Spelunky, etc.) and an old-school MetroidVania (Castlevania: SotN and its ilk).Features:
- RogueVania: The progressive exploration of an interconnected world, with the replayability of a rogue-lite and the adrenaline pumping threat of permadeath.
- 2D Souls-lite Action: Tough but fair combat, more than fifty weapons and spells with unique gameplay, and of course, the emergency panic roll to get you out of trouble.
- Nonlinear progression: Sewers, Ossuary or Remparts? Once unlocked, special permanent abilities allow you to access new paths to reach your objective. Opt for the path that suits your current build, your play style or just your mood.
- Exploration: Secret rooms, hidden passages, charming landscapes. Take a moment to stroll the towers and breath in that fresh sea mist infused air...
Interconnected levels and progressive unlocking of access to the island provides you with a real incentive to explore your surroundings. Add in a degree of evolution for your character and permanent weapon upgrades and you can see where Dead Cells borrows from the long line of MetroidVanias that precede it.
At the end of the day though, it’s YOUR skills as a player that matter most! Roguelites are about constantly getting better, until what was an insurmountable obstacle becomes a walk in the park. Unforgiving combat wed to the absence of any kind of safety net makes for an adrenalin pumping ride each and every run and unrivaled replayability.
Dead Cells left Early Access on August 7th 2018 and comes with:
- 13 Levels - Each one with its own atmosphere, foes and secrets to discover.
- 4 Bosses - Made by the most sadistic of the devs, raised on the salt of the testers.
