To celebrate Konami’s 50th anniversary, they will be releasing eight classic Castlevania games on PlayStation 4.

The Arcade Classic Anniversary Collection will be released today in the PS Store. Konami stated that they are still working on the Contra Anniversary Collection, so stay tuned for more updates.

Which Castlevania games will be in the Anniversary Collection?

Konami has been listening to Castlevania fans, and already mentioned four titles that would be part of the anniversary collection which are Castlevania, Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse, Castlevania II Belmont’s Revenge and Super Castlevania IV. Now Konami has released the titles of the other four Castlevania games which will be:

• Castlevania Bloodlines
• Kid Dracula
• Castlevania Adventures
• Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest

What’s great about these titles is that they include Kid Dracula, which was a spinoff of the Castlevania games and only available in Japan. Konami has also included the rare Castlevania Bloodlines, which was only released on the Sega Genesis. Nintendo fans who never owned a Sega Genesis will now be able to play one of the  great Castlevania games.

Castlevania Adventures is another rare title as it was released only for the Game Boy back in 1989. It was the first Castlevania game for the handheld platform. When Konami says it’s bringing retro back, Castlevania Adventures definitely defines their goal.

These eight titles will be digital exclusives at the PlayStation Store on May 16th.
