Konami has revealed that a massive 26-disc Castlevania OST soundtrack collection is on its way to Japan this December. Castlevania was initially released in 1986 as a horror action-adventure platformer with a mesmerizing and timeless soundtrack. That soundtrack would go on to prove an important element of the franchise. With this year marking Castlevania‘s 35th anniversary, Konami seems to have rejuvenated its interest and has reestablished support for its beloved series.
Announced by Konami for release in Japan on December 15th (via Siliconera), the $256 Castlevania OST soundtrack collection is comprised of two volumes that span across 26 discs and come in two separate sets called Castlevania Black and Castlevania Red. The full set will contain selected tracks from a massive range of initial and late-day Castlevania titles, such as Castlevania, Simon’s Quest, Symphony of the Night, and Harmony of Despair. Fans who pre-order the collection directly from Konami starting today will also receive a bonus 14-track disc that contains MIDI arrangements of songs from the SNES Castlevania: Dracula X.
While it is preserving the franchise’s evocative OSTs with the upcoming music collection, Konami also exclusively re-released Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls on the Apple Arcade earlier this month. The game featured a brand new soundtrack from Michiru Yamane not available outside of the game. While not every track comes with the collection, fans can put on their nostalgia goggles and enjoy the memorably rhythmic classics featured on the Castlevania OST soundtrack collection coming out later this year.
