Story

 * "A future where Count Dracula has been completely destroyed. It seemed like eternal peace came upon the world.


 * However, a letter delivered to Genya Arikado was about to put an end to that peaceful era.


 * In order to verify the meaning of the words written in the letter—“The Grimoire has ran wild and Count Dracula will be resurrected”—Genya Arikado heads off towards the letter’s sender…"

The storyline borrows elements from Castlevania: Harmony of Despair such as the Grimoire and the presence of characters from past Castlevania games that existed in different time periods.

The game's system has been described as cooperative, with up to four players at the same time. Characters can be improved to grow stronger, and fallen allies can be resurrected with a mechanic dubbed "Soul Resurrection". A cooperative Boss Rush mode has also been confirmed along with PvP battle mode with teams consisting of four players each.

It has been revealed that the game will make use of in-game currency and microtransactions.

Characters
Genya Arikado plays the role of main protagonist, and a new character called Lucy Westenra will play a supporting role. Playable characters on the closed beta are Alucard, Simon Belmont, Charlotte Aulin, Shanoa and Maria Renard. Soma Cruz's artwork is present on the game's website, but not on the upcoming-characters' announcement section.
