Oh I must tell you that the darkness has remained silent for too long but something is moving in the shadows since if you still remember Castlevania is one of the most iconic sagas of video games and it seems that right now they are preparing its return if Konami is finally ready to resurrect Dracula, bringing back the glorious franchise that has been sleeping for too long.
So in effect today I will write some rumors and recent leaks, plus a couple of crucial clues that make us see how Castlevania could be on the way to offering us a new adventure with a lot of possibilities between an ambitious 3D adventure or who knows if a remake of its classic installments.
What happened to the saga all this time?
I would love to go back in time since in 2021 4 years ago this issue was already being discussed And we may even have its echo now in the present, because they have been perfectly preparing the ground to be presented very soon and I believe that precisely both Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill and Castlevania are possibly Konami's big three, since they are series with a massive influence in the video game industry and many devoted fans.
It is more precisely last year that we enjoyed Silent Hill 2 reaping great sales and the affection of the players who returned to the cursed town through the eyes of James Sunderland in the best possible way while now we are currently waiting for the same with Jack, in Metal Gear Solid Delta.
By the way, after a blunder in the PlayStation Store, a brutal final trailer was finally revealed with a release date set for next August 28th, but of course, apart from these two. Now it's time to pass the baton to Castelvania, which isn't even officially confirmed that they're working on something, although if you think about it. Well, it sounds obvious when two of Konami's three great Pillars have already been resurrected and things seem to be going pretty well for them. So, as for Castelvania, although the other two franchises didn't have their best days before the remakes with Metal Gear-style surb titles that were very poorly received, and the cancellation of PT with the case of Silent Hill.
Well, imagine the turnaround that has taken place, so right now with Castlevania things weren't all that bad, as the series has at least remained relevant through its excellent anime series on Netflix and the release of Castlevania Advance Collection, which was a collection, as its name suggests, capable of bringing together the Castlevania Game Boy Advance games that are some of the best entries in the series in one neat package.
Since it was known that they were doing something
Going back to that 2021 there was a report from the vgt media suggesting that currently Or at least at that time a new version of Castlevania was being developed, it turns out that this information came from an anonymous editorial source who spoke directly to vgc detailing that titles are being worked on internally at konami in Japan with additional help from local external studios and...
Well really This is what happened with both Silent Hill and also with Metal Gear solid, what's more, in that same article it was said that after a major restructuring at konami, particularly its game development divisions, the company at that time was focused on bringing back its most important brands to the Premium gaming space, mentioning the new version of metal gear solid 3 snake remaster, of the original metal gear solid games and new titles by Silent Hill in development, which right now this information may seem ridiculous to you because all these words have come true. Only maybe we no longer remember. But this was even being talked about for 2021 then.
What can we expect?
A lot of weight in that a new State of Play is coming very soon for this week with several suitors among its surprises But knowing that Mercury has announced the Iron project maybe they decide to announce it in that broadcast while Castlevania It may come later who knows in one of the jof kly events Although Perhaps the most interesting thing to think or guess is that we would be more excited if a new 2D metroidvania game with current graphics or if not a new 3D title but well executed for that surely if they opt for 2D adventures an advanced Pixel visual style 2.5d illustrations in the style of octopa traveler or blain and ritual of the Night can suit it wonderfully under an interconnected world with deep exploration and multiple secret routes plus challenging bosses and the classic skill progression system while if they prefer to do it in 3D Something similar to Dark souls can work with fluid combat dodge mechanics and a brutal gothic setting Only that the bad part of this hypothesis is that already the genre feels too overused, although this does not mean that a semi-open world with castles, forests and cursed cities full of infernal creatures would be the ultimate RPG theme, deeper with weapon customization and vampiric powers.

I hope the rumors about a new Castlevania are true, this saga is very entertaining. By the way, the Castlevania games for DS were re-released in a compilation last year on multiple platforms.
