Darkstalkers 3 is a 1997 fighting game by Capcom, originally released on the CP System II arcade system as Vampire Savior.[a] The third and final[b] title in the Darkstalkers series following 1995's Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge, its story centers around a demonic nobleman from Makai named Jedah Dohma, who creates a pocket dimension named Majigen where he tries to bring in souls to help nourish his new world. It was critically and commercially well-received.

Updated arcade versions with modified character rosters were released the same year in Japan, titled Vampire Hunter 2 and Vampire Savior 2. Home console ports, also with unique character rosters, were released for the Sega Saturn in Japan and the PlayStation worldwide in 1998 under the title Darkstalkers 3.
