Castlevania: Symphony of the Night begins with the defeat of Dracula at the hands of Richter Belmont (in a small section taken from Akumajou Dracula X Rondo of Blood, which will see its first western release on PSP this year). Four years later, Richter Belmont has vanished, and Castlevania has reappeared. The remergence of the castle has caused a massive shift in power which led to the reawakening of Alucard, the son of Dracula. Alucard enters the castle to find some answers, and to stop his father once and for all.
The release of Symphony of the Night marks the first time a full console game has been released on the Xbox Live Service, as well as the first time the 50MB limit for XBLA games has been exceeded. Of course, the game will contain a number of new features including an enhanced mode which features improved graphics and audio, as well as the usual Microsoft achievement points and such.
Expect to see Symphony of the Night on Live Arcade at around 8PM AESST this Wednesday. Unless, of course, we see a repeat of this Wednesday.
