Even though metriodvania fans have been absolutely spoiled for choice these past few years, it's still exciting to see new titles anxious to build on Castlevania: Symphony of the Night legacy. In development under Migami Games and with PQube and PixelHeart co-publishing, Chronicles of the Wolf might just be the next big project to achieve that very lofty goal.
All the expected settings, puzzles, baddies and secrets will apparently be present in Chronicles of the Wolf, but the game will, apparently, not be without its surprises. Of those surprises, one is the casting of Robert Belgrade (the original voice of Alucard) as the game's narrator. There's more, of course, but fans will likely have to wait until the game releases this summer to discover most of them.
Chronicles of the Wolf follows Mateo Lombardo, a young apprentice knight who aspires to greatness. Specifically, he wants to become the True Knight of the Rose Cross Order. What exactly that means likely won't be clear right away, but it's probably safe to assume that he wants to more or less become a hero. In order to achieve that, though, he must first hunt and destroy a mythical beast that's been terrifying...
