Fans are understandably itching for new Castlevania content following the conclusion of the hugely popular Netflix animated series. While another series is in the works, it’s currently anyone’s guess as to how long it will be before it sees the light of day. In the meantime, the folks over at Konami have announced that Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls is being brought back to life as an Apple Arcade exclusive.

For those unfamiliar, Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls had a soft launch in Canada back in 2019, though the game was shuttered less than a year later. It appears as though Konami has chosen to throw some fresh support behind the title in the wake of renewed interest in the franchise, though it’s a bit strange that it’s only coming to Apple Arcade. Here’s the official trailer for the game that posted just prior to its 2019 release:
