Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania reveals playable Richter

Motion Twin and Evil Empire today shared another trailer for the upcoming Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania DLC, and confirmed that Richter will be playable.

After finding a secret level located somewhere deep in Dracula’s castle, players will be able to play Richter Mode, which lets them control the age-old Castlevania protagonist for a nostalgia trip that hits harder than the Vampire Killer. His classic moveset is inspired by Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Also shown today is how for added nostalgia, players will even have to destroy candles and collect hearts, which are used as ammunition for some weapons. We’re also able to get a more in-depth look at the ways players will be able to slay as The Beheaded throughout Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania. Finally, eagle-eyed players – as well as hardcore Castlevania fans – may also recognize some familiar set pieces throughout the expansion. 

You can get a first look at Richter as a playable character in the Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania DLC with the video below.

The Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania DLC launches for Switch on March 6, 2023. Will you be picking up the new content when it launches next month? Let us know in the comments.
