I only started Dead Cells last year when the Castlevania DLC came out (physical Switch version, would highly recommend for any other collectors). I recently saw they have a new Castlevania DLC for the game V Rising, which is a game I know virtually nothing about, other than hearing generally good things.

I’m honestly glad to see Konami finally doing something with the IP, even if it’s just licensing it out to fans of the series.

But it does make me wonder if there could be anything more on the horizon?

I’d honestly love to see a return to the series, even just for more incredible music. My dream game would either be a complete remake of Castlevania 1 (in Metreoidvania style), but namely with the incredible sprite work of the Nintendo DS games.

Although, I’m not opposed to a 3D adventure as well. I’d still be partial to a retelling of Simon Belmont’s story, but a new hero is also fine. For the love of god though, just don’t look to the Netflix series for inspiration.

But curious if there are still others super interested in more Castlevania? Or has it just become too niche?

I think they are just milking the shit out of their IPs.

I don't really trust Konami to do anything new with their IPs. I just hope we get another Castlevania Collection with the DS titles.

FromSoftware's Castlevania.

That's all we need. Would be a huge game.

Don't expect much, KDE's internal development division is pretty much just small teams making small games, sports stuff and remakes. Of course, it could all be outsourced, but eh, they will probably have enough with some remasters.

I feel like Demon's and Dark were already better versions of Castlevania in 3D. Like my dream Diablo/Castlevania which is why Souls are my favorite games ever.

100%. they have no plans for the franchise, but if they could make easy money by other developers wanting to use it, sure. but they aren't gonna invest their own money.

I would like this. I also actually like the 2 PS2 games. They were solid action games and the music was great.

Bloodborne is basically that already

Meanwhile, SSM needs a secondary franchise to output between God of War games…

I'll accept this milking if they do it like the Advance Collection.
