Chronicles of the Wolf Release Date Announced: Castlevania-Inspired Metroidvania Coming to Nintendo Switch and More

Chronicles of the Wolf Release Date Announced: Castlevania-Inspired Metroidvania Coming to Nintendo Switch and More Migami Games, the acclaimed indie developer known for its dedication to gothic action platformers, has officially revealed that 'Chronicles of the Wolf' will launch globally on June 19, 2025.

This announcement, confirmed in partnership with publishers Pqube and PixelHeart, marks one of the most anticipated releases for fans of the Metroidvania genre and classic Castlevania gameplay.

Chronicles of the Wolf will be available across multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox consoles, and PC via Steam.

In a move set to please collectors, physical editions will also be released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation platforms.

To provide eager players an early taste, a free demo version of the game is available now on Steam. A Legacy Rooted in Castlevania and Fan Projects Migami Games has built a reputation within the gaming community for its homage to classic Konami titles, specifically the Castlevania franchise.

The developer’s previous hit, Wallachia: Reign Of Dracula, demonstrated its ability to capture the spirit of retro action adventures, and Chronicles of the Wolf looks to deepen that legacy.

Migami began their creative journey developing unofficial fan projects like Haunted Castle II (1998), Haunted Castle III: Trevor's Quest (2001), and the well-regarded Lecarde Chronicles series (2013, 2017), all inspired by Castlevania’s mechanics and atmosphere. Chronicles of the Wolf invites players into the footsteps of Mateo Lombardo, an aspiring member of the enigmatic Rose Cross Order.

The title is a side-scrolling Metroidvania that incorporates beloved mechanics, including a dynamic day/night cycle reminiscent of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.

According to the development team, they've worked hard to integrate fresh innovations while honoring the timeless features that define the genre. Star-Studded Voice Talent and Castlevania Connections Veteran voice actor Robert Belgrade, recognized for his roles in Tekken, Soul Blade, Mega Man X7, and most notably as Alucard in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, brings narrative depth to Chronicles of the Wolf.

Belgrade oversees narration duties, guiding players through Mateo Lombardo’s perilous journey. Strengthening ties to Castlevania's enduring legacy, the game also features Bloodless, a character from Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night—the celebrated spiritual successor to Castlevania developed under Koji Igarashi, the franchise’s longtime producer at Konami.

This crossover nod is likely to resonate with loyal Castlevania fans and Bloodstained followers alike. Release Details and Demo Availability Chronicles of the Wolf arrives on June 19, 2025, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox, and PC (Steam).

Players can sample the game’s mechanics and atmosphere right now through the free Steam demo, while physical editions for Switch and PlayStation will be available for pre-order.

Stay tuned for updates on eShop and digital storefront listings as the release date approaches. With a release date set and unmistakable pedigree, Chronicles of the Wolf stands as a must-watch title for fans of gothic action platformers and contemporary Metroidvania experiences.
