Since Konami has stopped making Castlevania games, it’s been up to fans and other small developers to keep the spirit of the series alive. One developer doing that is Migami games, who made the fan-game Castlevania: The Lecarde Chronicles, and also Wallachia: Reign of Dracula. Their next game is Chronicles of the Wolf, which has a bit of star power on its side. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow composer Jeffrey Montoya is doing the music, with Robert Belgrade as the narrator, who was the voice of Alucard in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It takes place in 18th century France as you play the character of Mateo Lombardo and investigate the reports of a mysterious monster who has killed dozens of people.

Chronicles of the Wolf will be releasing for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC in the summer of 2025. Check out the announcement trailer below:

Step into the boots of Mateo Lombardo, an apprentice of the Rose Cross Order who finds himself the sole survivor of a vicious attack. You’ll talk to many locals, collect items and weapons, solve puzzles, overcome challenging obstacles, and defeat a massive roster of bosses all while leveling up along the way. It is up to you to hunt and kill the infamous beast and unravel the mystery of it’s origins. The next chapter in the Migami Monsterverse growls through the trees. Are you brave enough to face it?

Chronicles of the Wolf is a new metroidvania, or “migavania” game by Migami Games, the creators of the popular fangame, Castlevania The Lecarde Chronicles 1&2, and the run and arrow medieval shooter, Wallachia: Reign of Dracula.

Like Wallachia, Chronicles of the Wolf leans on real history as inspiration, this time with the infamous case of The Beast of Gévaudan. The history tells of real attacks that occurred in Southern France between the years of 1764-1767 by a mysterious beast that gored and killed well over 100 people. In this new open world adventure, danger is always stalking you from the shadows.

With a new soundtrack by Jeffrey Montoya and featuring new guest music from Oscar Araujo (the composer of the Castlevania Lords of Shadow series), and narration by Robert Belgrade (the voice of Alucard from Castlevania Symphony of the Night), Chronicles of the Wolf offers a fresh sound with some familiar touches for fans of the metroidvania genre along the way.
