Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood Leaks, Announcement Imminent
Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood has leaked via an official ESRB rating. This is the second time in the last week that the remastered collection of games has leaked through a rating system, the first being in South Korea. This all but confirms that the collection is real and that we are sure to get an official announcement from Konami soon.
The ESRB rating was noticed by the always awesome Wario64 on Twitter, where the Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood collection was given a T for Teen rating. While no release date is shown in the rating, only PS4 is mentioned as the platform for the remastered collection, despite the series’ inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
On the bright side, the ESRB rating does give us an official description for Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood so that we have an idea of what to expect. You can find it below:
“This is [a] collection of two action platformers in which players assume the role of a vampire hunter battling Dracula and other creatures. From a side-scrolling perspective, players traverse Dracula’s castle to kill fantastical enemies (e.g., zombies, demons, minotaurs). Characters use whips, swords, axes, and magic to defeat enemies. Pixelated blood is depicted when players’ character and creatures are killed; some attacks result in decapitation and dismemberment of creatures, including a boss character that loses its body parts and entrails. As players progress, they may encounter female creatures (e.g., harpies, Medusa) that have exposed buttocks and are depicted topless, though there are no discernible details (i.e., no nipples).“
We know little else about the collection. Rondo of Blood originally released for the PC Engine in 1993, while its direct sequel Symphony of the Night released in 1997 for the original PlayStation.
