Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls Announced, 4 Player Title Heading to iOS

Though fans have been craving a new Castlevania title for some time now, Konami has decided to oblige in the strangest way possible. It’s announced Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, a mobile game where four players can team up to battle bosses. Check out the first screenshots below.

The game will be heading to iOS and focuses on the main character Arika receiving word that Count Dracula has been revived. Again. From there, you investigate the sender. Other characters include researcher Lucy and other characters like Charlotte, Shanoa, Soma Cruz, Simon Belmont, Alucard and Maria are also playable.

Along with four player co-op, the title boasts 4v4 competitive combat. There’s a new story but it remains to be seen if this can be played solo. You can also collect music from different games in the series. There’s no release date yet and Konami hasn’t confirmed whether the game will be arriving for Android as well. Regardless, this is certainly a strange way to address fan demands.
