Netflix’s Castlevania animated series is one of the best video game adaptations, and soon fans of the stylish animated series can complete their Blu-ray collection with Castlevania: Nocturne Season 1. The sequel to the original Castlevania animated series, which ran for four seasons, releases October 8. Ahead of its release during Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon has slashed preorders of the Blu-ray to $24, a 40% discount off its $40 retail price.

Nocturne shares its release date with Arcane, Netflix’s League of Legends animated series, which is getting multiple different physical editions, including a limited 4K Blu-ray with a steelbook case.

Plague Inc. developer Ndemic just dropped a surprise sequel to the smash hit Plague Inc. Instead of a pessimistic pandemic simulator, the sequel is a sunny strategy game about rebuilding after the end of the world.

After Inc. is set in the aftermath of Plague Inc.’s zombie scenario. It tasks you with running human civilization in the United Kingdom after a zombie apocalypse.

You combat zombies, search for resources, navigate communal disputes, and research new tech. Playing through a scenario lasts around 20 minutes and will unlock meta upgrades that affect future settlements.

After Inc. costs $2, the same price as Rebel Inc. and $1 more than Plague Inc. The store page claims this is a “special sale price” to mark the game’s lau…
