Mondo announced a new partnership this week with the The-Once-Great-Publisher-That-Must-Not-Be-Named that’ll bring several of gaming’s most aurally accomplished franchises to vinyl. There’ll be licensed prints and collectibles too, but we’re talking about a vinyl release of the OSTs for Castlevania, Silent Hill and Contra here.
Even in the post-Silent Hills world we currently live in, that’s exciting.
A ticket to Emerald City Comicon will get you a first glance at the first wave of merch, including posters for Castlevania and Silent Hill that’ll be shown off for the first time tomorrow at booth #4132, in “The Block”. If Seattle’s too far of a drive for you, what’s left will be made available to purchase on the Mondo store at a “later date.”
At San Diego Comic-Con 2016 in July, Mondo will unveil their limited edition vinyl for the 1986 Castlevania, with artwork by renowned comic artist Becky Cloonan. They’ll also show off a limited edition polystone statue inspired by Ayami Kojima’s work on Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
There’s plenty more coming later, we just don’t know when yet. Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse, Super Castlevania IV and Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night will all get vinyl releases, complete with original artwork for each. Silent Hill and Contra will get the same treatment, eventually.
