The Castlevania franchise, once a cornerstone of gaming history, has seen little activity from Konami in the past decade apart from compilations. However, Konami recently surprised fans at the August 2024 Nintendo Direct by announcing and immediately releasing the Castlevania Dominus Collection. Available on Switch, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, this collection includes remastered versions of three Castlevania games from the Nintendo DS and a remake of the arcade classic Haunted Castle, titled Haunted Castle Revisited. The collection has been praised for its quality, earning high marks on platforms like Steam.
