Preorders open for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night vinyl soundtrack
Record label Mondo has opened preorders for the two-disc Castlevania: Symphony of the Night vinyl soundtrack reprint. The album includes seven bonus tracks from the Sega Saturn port.

The story of Symphony of the Night directly follows the events of Rondo of Blood for PC Engine CD. When Dracula's mansion unexpectedly materializes from out of the ether, the half-human son of Dracula follows vampire hunter Richter Belmont onto the castle grounds and encounters Maria Renard, the maiden rescued by the Belmont clan years earlier.

Developed by Konami for the Sony PlayStation in 1997, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night features scenario writing and design by Koji Igarashi. The focus on exploration helped define the "Metroidvania" genre, as acquiring new abilities allowed Alucard to access uncharted locations on the castle map.

Composed by Michiru Yamane, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Original Soundtrack is streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music Unlimited. Both Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night are included in Castlevania Requiem for PlayStation 4.
