Head into Count Dracula’s castle once more, but in a new title that has been announced by way of Dracula: The Disciple
We’ve had many of the classic monsters coming up recently with new titles, and now we are here with Dracula: The Disciple. A new puzzle title on the way to us all from Cyanide Studios and Nacon for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC that will be giving us more of the famed vampire. Although this one might not fall in line as one might expect from a title that has Count Dracula in it. This one will be in a dark and gothic setting, sure, but we are doing more of the research and focusing more on the various puzzles in the game instead of all of the normal nonsense that comes with vampires. A bold strategy, and now we get to see just how some of that might be panning out when it comes.
While we might not be playing as the count himself in Dracula: The Disciple, the game’s premise does sound like it will lend to a fun puzzle title to go through. Especially as we’ll be playing as a dying French archivist named Emile Valombres who happens to be looking for a cure to that whole dying thing. That’s what leads Emile to Dracula’s castle, where he finds all of the experiments, documents, and various other secrets hidden about. The perfect things to try and grant that level of immortality he’s searching for. Not to mention, Emile does seem to be suffering from that whole vampiric condition too, so he will need to solve all manner of supernatural puzzles, practice some alchemy, and wander the castle grounds looking for even more to unearth along the way. Sounds like it is going to make for one epic night of gaming for us all. Have a little look at the reveal, even if most of it is not the actual gameplay we can expect in the end.
