At the start of The Game Awards 2022, a new Castlevania-themed DLC pack for Dead Cells 2018 was announced.

This DLC pack, titled Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania, will feature Richter Belmont and Alucard, as well as the fearsome Dracula, along with 14 iconic weapons and numerous remixed music tracks from the franchise.

"The inspiration behind it all goes back to its 2D action roots," reads the DLC's Steam page. "The unforgettable characters and gothic setting of Castlevania meet the fast-paced combat of award-winning roguelite Dead Cells in this unprecedented collaboration."

The inclusion of Richter Belmont and Alucard may be preparing audiences for Castlevania: Nocturne, the upcoming Netflix series that will focus on Richter. Both characters play major roles in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, one of the series' most beloved titles.
