For years, it seemed like Castlevania was dead and buried. But with last night's reveal of Castlevania: Belmont's Curse during Sony's State of Play stream, Konami's long-neglected saga of ghoul-whipping and vampire daddy drama is bursting back out of the coffin—in a Dracula-like fashion, I suppose you could say.
While an all-new 2D Castlevania from the Dead Cells developers at Evil Empire and Motion Twin is just about the best case scenario you could hope for, Konami says it has even bigger plans in store for the series' revival.
Coinciding with the announcement of Belmont's Curse, Konami also launched a site to celebrate this year's 40th anniversary of Castlevania's first release as Akumajō Dracula in Japan. "The doors of Castlevania open once more," the anniversary page declares. While the site's a little thin—there's not much there aside from a spooky commemorative video showing that good haunted castle we all love to hate—the message Konami left for Dracula's house's birthday indicates there are other Castlevania projects in the works.
