Long-time Castlevania producer Koji "IGA" Igarashi left Konami a while back to move into indie development, but aside from a cryptic double-page PAX flyer, we've heard very little about what he's up to.
However, this week could change all of that, if rumours swirling around the dark and brooding nether-regions of the internet are to be believed. According to some sources, the runes in the PAX flyer actually contained a message – "What a wonderful night to have a KS" – which appeared to suggest that Igarashi would be launching a Kickstarter campaign in the not-too-distant future.
During the Dead By Daylight Year 8 Anniversary event, it was revealed that a new collaboration with Castlevania is coming to the game.
Konami's highly rare Castlevania: The Arcade has finally been preserved, and everyone can soon get to play it for free.
Hironobu Sakaguchi and Koji Igarashi discuss how the Japanese gaming scene turned sour, and how it's since revived.
NES to PS2 was really the golden age for Japanese games. Once the 360 and PS3 came around western developers surpassed what the Japanese were doing.
I really don’t understand how in a single generation almost all Japanese developers couldn’t make anything as stand out as they did in the PS1 and PS2 eras.
Yes!
All ex Konami devs unite!
Oh hell yes. A Castlevania spiritual successor is most welcome.
Spiritual successors seems to be the new thing these days.
Make a Metroidvania game with 2d HD art like the Guilty Gear series and i'm SO sold, that's the castlevania game we need and deserve.
