Konami Comments on Possibility of a New Castlevania Game
It has been a significant amount of time since the Castlevania franchise from Konami had as much spotlight as it has right now. Between the fact that there is a new Castlevania animated series set for Netflix after the conclusion of the original, the surprise release of the Castlevania Advance...

Axios recently had a chance to question Konami's Yota Tsutsumizaki, director on Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, via translated email. Tsutsumizaki noted that, while longtime Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi left the company years ago, his "retirement from Konami is not related to the prolonged interval between series releases." Igarashi notably left Konami the same year as the last major Castlevania release, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, in 2014.
The biggest question, of course, was if and when Konami might actually make a truly new Castlevania. "I think it depends on what our users say," Tsutsumizaki told Axios. It's the sort of answer any developer might give to the question, especially if they are in charge of a mobile title in a long-running franchise, but it does still leave the option on the table. And, as previously stated, there's more Castlevania available right now than there has been in the recent past.
As noted above, Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls is currently available on Apple Arcade.
