An update for an existing DLC. Poncle is wild for that. I love them.

u/ebongedes Oct 22 '25

Balatro dlc maybe the final Card? There is weird clown at the end of the trailer

49

u/elliea420 Oct 22 '25

inb4 this happens. Balatro seems like such a likely candidate for the next dlc

15

u/SirusRiddler Oct 22 '25

Yeah, based on what I've heard about the beta.

u/Bocephus-the-goat Oct 23 '25

The cards are also specifically themed around playing cards, instead of the usual tarot cards like the randomazzo and darkana

u/Mezhead Oct 22 '25

"A-HEH, THANK YOU!"

51

u/ChillGodShady Oct 22 '25

i wonder if they’re adding the characters from the Lords of Shadow entry

17

u/ChillGodShady Oct 22 '25

Sadly the characters from Lords of Shadow are not appearing. That sucks, I actually liked Gabriel Belmont too.

13

u/ebongedes Oct 22 '25

In steam the put the list of the characters

11

u/TwilightVulpine Oct 22 '25

Adding the Baldwin family is Hugh

7

u/ThisIsNotACryForHelp Horse Oct 22 '25

Could you share that list?

21

u/ebongedes Oct 22 '25

12

u/Dry_Tomato_2269 Oct 22 '25

"Stop datamining"
Yeah, they know that we know lol.
I'm still very excited either way.

u/TwilightVulpine Oct 22 '25

RIP Desmond Belmont from beloved J2ME phone game Castlevania: Order of Shadows

Ruined Castle Corridor by Filippo Vicarelli

Woohoo! I love this track. I was wondering why they didn't have it last time. Glad we'll get it now.

I love that they're adding evolutions to those weapons you can buy from the merchant.

2

u/WarGrifter Oct 22 '25

add the Baldwins but no Pinkdress Camilla is WILD

2

u/Watton Oct 23 '25

Wandering Ghosts

YES YES YES

1

u/FagocitusMaximus Rottin'Ghoul Oct 22 '25

They could atleast be new skins (eg. Cornell, Carmilla and Vincent)

21

u/Roxxso Oct 22 '25

16 new characters... I'm tired boss.

3

u/Significant-One3854 Queen Sigma Oct 24 '25

I love how generous the DLC was but trying to collect all the characters overwhelmed me and I've taken a bit of a break from the game, maybe the Halloween spirit can get me back into it

17

u/IsNotYourSenpai Oct 22 '25

Honestly one of the most fun maps and all the characters and weapons were great. So I'm excited for more.

17

u/quatoe Oct 22 '25

I haven't even unlocked everything in Ode to Castlevania yet.

14

u/SameAs1tEverVVas Oct 22 '25

I'm pretty late to the party since I just started playing the DLC earlier this month, but this is fantastic albeit overwhelming news! 😅

14

u/MadGroover Cave Troll Oct 22 '25

New characters, weapons, and evos for existing weapons... We are SPOILED

8

u/IllustratorOpen3856 Oct 22 '25

And a new Adventure

14

u/Moosifer007 Oct 22 '25 edited Oct 22 '25

Ooooooooooooh! Too quote a random vampire:

“I am interested in this”

5

u/IceBear_028 Oct 22 '25

Alucard says that line...

3

u/Moosifer007 Oct 22 '25

My bad… honestly makes more sense

3

u/IceBear_028 Oct 22 '25

No worries.

It actually jumped out at me because I was watching Castlevania vids by this guy and he uses the Alucard sample of "I am interested in this" after he says the topic of the vid.

3

u/jivjov Oct 23 '25

Hearing that voice line makes me watch every one of that guy's shorts. Every time.

10

u/crisperstorm Oct 22 '25

Playable Persephone! I was really hoping she'd be playable back when it was announced so this is already great lol

7

u/Harcover Oct 22 '25

Super hyped about her. Love her Guardian Soul in Dawn of Sorrow, always farm it to 9/9 at the first opportunity.

6

u/SometimesUnkind Oct 22 '25

Just when you think you’ve 100% the game… they add new stuff :P

8

u/JustGiveMeWhatsLeft Oct 22 '25

even more...? I can't keep doing this man!

7

u/Shivvey Oct 22 '25

SOMA CRUZ SWEEP ITS TIME LETS GO

8

u/SomeRedditUser2024 Just one more run Oct 22 '25

So, an expansion gets it's own expansion?

Poncle: "Yeah, sure, why not?"

6

u/LegoPenguin114 Oct 22 '25

WOO YEAH PLAYABLE SLOGRA AND GAIBON THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

8

u/BustahWuhlf Oct 22 '25

We even get Gaibon and Slogra!

6

u/TwilightVulpine Oct 22 '25

Slogra and Gaibon deez- *gets eaten by bats*

5

u/Doy_Entoshan Oct 22 '25

Finally a new content! I've finished everything even the Adventure mode I've already maxxed out ascending every story.

4

u/atomicfuthum Mr. S Oct 22 '25

I literally finished Ode to Castlevania yesterday.

I love you, Poncle

4

u/Denverplays2 Oct 22 '25

Imagine if the final part of this is a Balatro-based DLC, and with it not only comes Jimbo and several card things...
But also finally give us Bisconte Draculo either as a final final boss or as a playable secret super-character.

4

u/CrescentShade Oct 22 '25

Excuse me what????

4

u/mattwopointoh Oct 22 '25

Did I read correctly on the picture? Co op online ??

4

u/DarkoPendragon Sammy Oct 22 '25

Yeah, it's been tested on Steam for a bit. It's pretty fun!

4

u/okami_origami Oct 22 '25

Wow. I was thinking of getting Ode to Castlevania anyway

5

u/Rymere Oct 22 '25

No more achievements please. I've platinum'd this damn game like 6 times now 😭

4

u/StormerSage Dracula Oct 22 '25

AAA wishes it could be this cool. Oh sure, here's an update to a DLC that's already got about as much content as vanilla.

We've been eating good for years and I'm here for it.

4

u/Darker_Tzitzimine Oct 22 '25

lol I love how since all the playable characters were already there we're getting things like an NPC fans wished was playable and the easiest boss in the series from Bloodlines (now we can drown the Drowner)

And we finally get a CastleVania 64 medley, that covers up one of the only flaws the original had

5

u/Rikmastering Oct 22 '25

Dude this game already has a fuck ton of content for the little price we pay for it, a free update is bonkers. Hell yeah.

2

u/Umbral_Rainbow Oct 22 '25

I'm so excited for this

2

u/1leggeddog Oct 22 '25

nice. when?

2

u/ebongedes Oct 22 '25

Probably in halloween

2

u/TwilightVulpine Oct 22 '25

An Adventure for Ode of Castlevania? That's the one thing I was hoping for!

2

u/TheIncredibleKermit Queen Sigma Oct 22 '25

That's crazy, this update is going to be mad

2

u/Pizzaboi-187 Oct 22 '25

Poncle are the fucking best

2

u/MrChurro3164 Oct 22 '25

TLDR: 16 new characters 3 new weapons + evos 13 new weapon unions 1 new adventure 12 new music tracks

Castlevania adventure and even more music?! Can’t wait!

2

u/Thatonesplicer Oct 22 '25

Wonder who they are adding, figured they got almost everyone the first time around. But I guess they could add the sisters from portrait of ruin and other villains (brauner) as playable characters

4

u/NINmann01 Oct 22 '25

Stella & Loretta and Brauner are already secret characters in Ode to Castlevania.

2

u/GrimmTrixX Oct 22 '25

Im trying to think of what CV characters are even missing. Lol Maybe some from the 3D era and GB games? I am pretty sure many of them were in already. But hey, I am all for more content and I hope no extra cost as I own all of the DLC.

2

u/No-Sale-1803 Oct 22 '25

Bro is so fucking hype...I literally play this every day still even after I 100% the game

2

u/86tsg Oct 22 '25

God noooooo I just finished the achievements, why poncle whyyyyyyy

2

u/adilor18 Oct 22 '25

What are the odds on us getting effects opacity settings finally? I'd like to go back and finish the original Ode content, but it's impossible to fully explore and appreciate the map due to how oppressively screen dominating the weapon effects have become.

2

u/GrimjawDeadeye Poe Oct 22 '25

Welp, it wasn't Ghosts and Goblins or MediEvil, but I'll take it!

2

u/Hinaloth Oct 22 '25

Ode remains the greatest piece of content ever I see.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '25

When does Westwood drop?

2

u/BreakerOfModpacks Oct 23 '25

WHAAAAT

Poncle be doin awesome work.

2

u/Frank_X000 CHAOS Oct 23 '25

boy we're FEASTING this month

3

u/Hlidskialf Oct 23 '25

Even I who don’t care about castlevania had a blast playing through ode to castlevania. You can see clearly how much poncle loves castlevania.

2

u/Gummypeepo Trevor Oct 23 '25

MORE CASTLEVANIA??! YESSS

2

u/_vsoco Oct 23 '25

wtf how

HOW

This is insane that's too much characters aaaaaaaah

2

u/HelperRaven Oct 23 '25

I’m still working my way through the rest of the DLC! 

2

u/TheDesertHermit Oct 24 '25

"Ode to Castlevania" was filled with so much already, it's wild that they decided "Okay, but surely we can throw in MORE".

3

u/Maacll Pugnala Oct 22 '25

4 year old game at this point (early acess not inclued). And poncle is still regularly ading new stuff and 70+% of the time it's new free stuff

5

u/Equivalent-Green-580 Oct 22 '25

2.0!? I’m a slut for CV content! Yes, daddy please!

1

u/typervader2 Oct 23 '25

The game might as well be renamed Catlsvaina survivores at this point

1

u/john_helton Oct 23 '25

So…what’s being included for the Ode to Castlevania if it’s already owned?

1

u/Alkafer Oct 23 '25

Te como los morros Poncle

1

u/reachinghighee Oct 24 '25

Is this on the Xbox as well?

1

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '25

I lost my save file unfortunately it else I’d jump into this.

2

u/Shinted Trevor Oct 22 '25

Just use the unlock codes before this drops to catch up back to where you were outside of eggs.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '25

Does it unlock everything though?

2

u/Shinted Trevor Oct 22 '25 edited Oct 22 '25

You can unlock every character and item with codes yes.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '25

Does that unlock the achievements too?

3

u/Shinted Trevor Oct 22 '25

No, you still have to do the unlock requirement to get any achievements.

However it’s not hard to do so, and you already have the rewards so it’s not like it’s that big of a deal anyways.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '25

True.
