In rumors for several years, Castlevania’s return continues to be desired today. But to believe new information, it would still be in preparation at Konami.
While we thought the summer conference ball finished, Konami finally surprised us yesterday with the outfit of his own showcase, the Konami Press Start, which was then an opportunity for the publisher to reveal more about his future outings to come. And as the company had been able to the company before the event, we were even entitled to a nice surprise with the announcement of a new remake for Silent Hillalways developed by Bloober Team. On the other hand, another flagship license was once again absent subscribers: Castlevania.
Castlevania, le grand absent du Konami Press Start
Indeed, seeing franchises as Silent Hill or Metal Gear Solid return under the spotlight, many players naturally hoped that the famous secret announcement could this time concern Castlevania. Unfortunately, this was not the case, to the chagrin of the fans of the license. And disappointment is all the more important since it has been several years now since rumors surrounding the return of the series are heard. In particular on the side of our colleagues from Video Games Chronicle.
“Konami is now focusing on the return of his biggest brands with premium games. The first of these titles will be a new castlevania, which our sources describe as a ‘reimagination’ in the series “ wrote in particular the journalist Andy Robinson in a report published in October 2021. Almost four years later, however, still no sign of the return of the license, whose last major entry, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2dates back to 2014. But the journalist assures him: the project still seems relevant.
The return of the franchise would always be relevant
“Andy, do you have an idea of what happened to the Castlevania project that you reported several years ago?” »» asked him for a user at the end of the Konami Press Start yesterday. To which Robinson then replied: “As far as I know, it’s always planned”. The question now remains to know when precisely. But for that, he will obviously have to continue to take his pain in patience for the moment. That said, with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater et Silent Hill f Who arrive in the coming months, we will certainly have very good things to wait.
