Music from Castlevania Kuro (Black) premieres on streaming platforms
Konami has published the Music from Castlevania Kuro (Black) compilation, available through streaming platforms.

The Castlevania music collection was pressed on thirteen compact discs in December of 2021. The Kuro (Black) set features soundtracks from Famicom Disk System, MSX home computer, and arcade games. Several of the inclusions are ports of the same game, inviting direct comparisons across the various game platforms.


Both Japanese Famicom and Western Nintendo Entertainment System scores for Castlevania II: Simon's Quest and Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse are included, along with both the Famicom and Game Boy iterations of Kid Dracula. Both the PlayStation score for Castlevania Chronicles and its X68000 home computer predecessor are included, alongside Castlevania (Nintendo 64), Castlevania Chronicles and Castlevania Judgment.

The Aka (Red) compilation is focused on more recent entries, including eight additional tracks from the Sega Saturn edition of Symphony of the Night. "Music From Castlevania - Kuro (Black)" and "Music From Castlevania - Aka (Red)" are both available, via Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited.


From the 40th Anniversary Celebration website:
The original Castlevania marks its 40th anniversary. To mark this special occasion and share the celebration with all who have supported the series throughout the years, we are releasing the original Castlevania as a free app for a limited time. We hope you will take this opportunity to revisit the story that started it all. We’re also celebrating with special discounts on titles across the series and commemorative videos, and we hope you enjoy them as well.
