I’m not crying, you’re crying

Perennial heartstring-pullers Nomada Studio and emotional wrecks Devolver Digital are pleased to announce that Neva, the emotionally-charged new adventure from the visionary team behind critically acclaimed indie hit Gris, will arrive on October 15 for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series S|X, priced $19.99.

Neva chronicles the moving tale of a young woman, Alba, and her lifelong bond with a magnificent wolf as they embark on a thrilling adventure through a dying world.

Following a traumatic encounter with dark forces, Alba finds herself bound to a curious, mischievous wolf cub. Working together, the pair will help each other overcome increasingly dangerous situations.

The wolf will grow and mature over time – as will Alba’s relationship with it – as they traverse this cursed, decaying world.

Building on what Nomada Studio achieved with Gris, players will explore a meticulously designed world brought to life with delicate art, detailed animation, and a haunting original score from Gris composers Berlinist. Unlike their previous effort, Neva also features light, intuitive combat that sees players employ both sword and sidekick against hordes of monstrous creatures.

Neva is an unforgettable experience, and you can play it on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch on October 15.

MONTREAL – Aug. 27, 2024 –The sun has set behind the castle on the horizon. Scarlet eyes pierce the darkness. Dracula has arrived in Dead by Daylight, thirsty for a hunt unlike any other. Dead by Daylight: Castlevania is available now, introducing a new Killer, The Dark Lord, and new Survivor, Trevor Belmont to The Entity’s Realm.

Reverence for the Night

In its second collaboration with KONAMI Digital Entertainment (KONAMI), Dead by Daylight adds yet another of gaming’s most storied franchises to an already legendary roster of horror icons. Few titles boast the staying power of Castlevania, delivering entries over the course of nearly 40 years that often resonate with their audience in very personal ways. The Dead by Daylight team, being among them, ensured their passion for Dracula and the Belmont clan would be felt in every pixel of this latest Chapter.

“Working closely with the team at Dead by Daylight, it was a real pleasure to see the love for the franchise and attention to detail that was present throughout,” shares the Castlevania Team at KONAMI. “We’re big fans of Dead by Daylight as well, and were excited about this collaboration from the start, especially knowing what our games and lore meant to the team at Behaviour.”

Variety is the Spice of Death

Harnessing that passion, the creative team put a major focus on one of The Dark Lord’s most unique abilities – one that’s never been seen in Dead by Daylight: shapeshifting.

Dracula’s Power is the ability to switch seamlessly between three forms – each specializing in a different aspect of the hunt to effectively create three Killers in one.

Vampire Form: In Dracula’s base form, players can unleash an attack called Hellfire, which launches a row of flames in a forward trajectory. This attack can traverse obstacles, including Pallets and Windows. 

Wolf Form: Played from a third-person perspective, Wolf form specializes in tracking Survivors. Players gain a better view of Scratch Marks and Blood Pools, and any running Survivors will generate visible Scent Orbs which can be collected to quicken the Wolf’s pace and provide direction. Once their prey is within reach, players can strike with a lunging Pounce Attack. 

Bat Form: Featuring a faster base movement speed and a third person perspective, Bat Form is a valuable mobility tool. With no Terror Radius and the ability to Teleport to a nearby Vault location, Bat from grants Dracula the stealth of night itself.  While players won’t be able to actually see Survivors in this form, scratch marks remain visible, and footsteps become much easier to hear.

Imposing, regal, and without mercy, The Dark Lord wears his disdain for humanity on his elegantly woven sleeve. This is never more apparent than in his Mori which sees him casually slit a victim’s throat with razor-sharp fingernails, before catching the blood in a glass and drinking it down as they die at his feet.

Vampire Killer

No stranger to the supernatural, Survivor Trevor Belmont’s eternal battle with The Dark Lord rages on in The Fog. Here, he’ll be forced to contend with a version of his nemesis in a series of endless Trials, relying on the traits that make him the quintessential Belmont to help his team survive. Trevor Belmont introduces three new Perks to Dead by Daylight.

Eyes of Belmont: When a Generator is completed, the Killer’s Aura is briefly revealed. Whenever the Killer’s Aura is revealed, it remains visible for longer. 

Exultation: When the player Pallet Stuns a Killer while holding an Item, it will upgrade to the next tier (if possible). 

Moment of Glory: Moment of Glory activates after rummaging through a number of chests. Whenever the player becomes injured, they become Broken instead and will heal 1 Health State after a duration.  

Elegant Darkness

With almost four decades of games under its cape, the Castlevania franchise has no shortage of iconic characters and styles. The Castlevania Collection allows players to delve deeper into the lore of this intricate series, embodying key players of the Belmont and Dracula bloodlines and beyond.

Available today, cosmetics for Trevor Belmont include Very Rare Outfits from Leon and Simon Belmont, as well as a Legendary Outfit for Symphony of the Night’s Alucard that offers players an entirely new experience. Also featured are Outfits for The Dark Lord from the classic games Dracula X, and Castlevania Chronicles.

Releasing Sept. 12, a Sypha Belnades-inspired Very Rare Outfit for Mikaela Reid, and a Maria Renard-inspired Very Rare Outfit for Kate Denson will also be added to the Collection.

Dead by Daylight: Castlevania is available now on all supported platforms.
