Konami’s ‘Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls’ Will Be a Multiplayer Mobile Game

Published

While we wait for the second season of Netflix’s “Castlevania,” reportedly headed our way this summer, Variety reports that a new Castlevania video game is on the way.

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, expected sometime later this year, will be a four-player mobile game for iOS devices from developer-publisher Konami.

The site details, “Alongside the standard single-player offerings, “Grimoire of Souls” will feature four-player boss rush modes, as well as a battle mode that puts the four players against each other. Users can play as series standbys, such as Simon Belmont and Alucard, as well as newcomers Aruma Genta — a mysterious Japanese government agent — and a researcher named Lucy.”

“Grimoire of Souls” starts in a peaceful era for the “Castlevania” series, with vampire antagonist Earl Dracula seemingly gone from the world. However, one letter brings an end to this time of peace.

Gamers in Japan can sign up for the beta right now.

New Gameplay Teaser Shows off Key Mechanics for ‘Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days’ [Watch]

Over a year after it was first announced, developer PikPok has dropped a new gameplay teaser for their upcoming entry in the Into the Dead series with Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. We still don’t have a release date for the zombie strategy game, which is currently in development for an Early Access release on Steam later this year.

The new gameplay teaser shows off Our Darkest Days‘ high tension atmosphere, including key gameplay mechanics such as crafting meals and tools, healing survivors suffering from physical and mental injuries, and of course, fighting off zombies.

“We’re really excited to be showing off a snippet of what we’ve been working on since our announcement trailer in 2023,” says Juliann Lum, PikPok senior product manager. “So much more has gone into the game, including new ways for survivors to interact with the world around them, each other, and of course the dangerous undead that infest the city of Walton.” Lum went on to say that more reveals for Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days are coming over the next few months.

Set in 1980 Texas, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a 2.5D side-scroller where players must guide a group of survivors from shelter to shelter within the beleaguered Walton City, which is infested with the undead. Managing resources and survivors’ needs is crucial as players try to keep ahead of the rising threat while executing plans to escape the quarantined city area.

As mentioned, you’ll be scavenging for supplies, crafting tools and weapons, as well as fighting off the undead, all the while keeping constant movement as the zombie threat closes in. While their experiences will lead survivors to gain new skills, players will also need to manage their physical and psychological needs, as Our Darkest Days has a permadeath mechanic.
