Back in the dim and distant past (well, 2021), Limited Run Games announced that it was bringing Konami's Dracula X: Rondo of Blood to North America for the first time in physical form.
The game – which launched exclusively in Japan in 1993 on the PC Engine CD – never got an English release at the time, and while it has been made available in the West in other ways, fans were excited at the prospect of getting to play it on the original hardware (in this case, the US version of the PC Engine Duo, the TurboDuo).
It's been so long since anybody heard about this release that most have assumed it's not happening, and that appears to be the case.
According to Twitter user @benpwarner, Limited Run has confirmed to him that the release is no longer planned. Another user, @Spindash54, says the company also confirmed this on its Discord.
Earlier this year, Limited Run co-founder Josh Fairhurst (who left the company in 2026) admitted he had no idea why the release hadn't happened.
