Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, the acclaimed Konami action RPG following Alucard through a sprawling non-linear castle in pursuit of his father’s revival, is one of the most celebrated games in the PlayStation catalogue. This UK Original carries serial SLES-00524 and was released on 2 November 1997. It is a single-disc Full Jewel PAL release in English, with a Hologram A on the case. Among the four PAL variants catalogued, the UK Original is the standard British retail release, distinct from the continental European Original and the two Enhanced Edition Collector’s variants. Despite sharing a serial with the other variants, the UK-specific EAN barcode serves as a key identifier. The game’s extraordinary legacy makes every PAL pressing of this title highly sought after.
