Metroidvania ‘Chronicles of the Wolf’ Arrives June 15 for PC, Consoles; Steam Demo Now Available [Trailer]

Migami Games has nailed down a June 19 release date for their upcoming Castlevania-inspired Chronicles of the Wolf. The action-platformer will arrive for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox and PC via Steam, with physical editions available for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation consoles. To celebrate, the developer has released a brand-new playable demo on Steam, giving players their first chance to step into the cursed lands of Gévaudan and face the terrors that await.

Chronicles of the Wolf, which draws heavily from the 2D Castlevania games (including having Robert Belgrade, who voiced Alucard in Symphony of the Night, as the narrator), sees players step into the boots of Mateo Lombardo, the last apprentice of the Rose Cross Order, as he embarks on his quest to hunt the legendary Beast of Gévaudan. That involves exploring vast, interconnected castles, battle brutal bosses, and plenty of secrets lurking in the shadows.

The demo showcases classic Metroidvania gameplay, open-world exploration through villages and castles, challenging enemies, and a dynamic day-night cycle that changes everything.

For Castlevania fans, having Alucard’s VA is only the start. Jeffrey Montoya (who composed music for Migami Games’ fan game Castlevania: The Lecarde Chronicles) will serve as the composer for Chronicles of the Wolf, with guest music from Oscar Araujo (the composer of the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow series). Even Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night gets in on the fun, as Bloodless the vampire will make a special appearance in the game.
