New Castlevania Title in the Works?

"Castlevania: Lords of Shadow hit in late 2010 to moderate success and critical response and since then the Castlevania franchise has been relatively quiet if we ignore the disappointing DLC that Lords of Shadow received. Interestingly however, David Cox, producer at Konami on Lords of Shadow just posted the following image on his Twitter which is also the official Castlevania Lords of Shadow Twitter."

i really hope so. if anyone who owns a 360 or a PS3 hasn't played this yet then i advise you to buy it. (i am a Sony fan so don't shoot me for this) and, YES, it is better than GOW3, apart from a few enormous set pieces of course

I just picked it up off Ebay for 20$ and loving it , now if i can find the time to finish it .

So Many Games , So little time

I don't know if I would say Castlevania Lords of Shadow was better than GOW3 but they are both excellent games.

If a new Castlevania is made I will be buying it.

I liked the story in Castlevania more than GOW. I also think the world was much more interesting in Castlevania. It didn't feel like a normal place with monsters. The world itself was an integral part of the experience.

In GOW I was constantly saying OMFG when it came to boss fights. The boss fights in Castlevania were excellent but I'd have to give the edge to GOW.

If a gamer misses either of these titles they are missing some of the best games ever created.

If they do, I'd like more RPG elements (a la SOTN). Make the world much less linear and more explorable, with lots of weapons and bits to collect.

not before a new metroidvania comes out on the 3ds......

but I suppose konami japan would be working on that internally

[NovusTerminus]

*Sigh*

Give Castlevania back to the Japanese! This game was not a true Castlevania game!

[NYC_Gamer]

100% agree,brought the game and can't find myself to finish it because the lack of the true Castlevania gameplay/story.

[Croash]

That isn't really a valid complain. Just forget about the entire franchise and play the game for what it is. You can't have bought it only because it has "Castlevania" on the cover. And how could you even expect a "true Castlevania gameplay" when the series is mostly about 2D games. The videos and the demo were here to make people aware of the fact that it is a game similar to beat'em all like God of War.

The Castlevania franchise needed something fresh AND praiseworthy.
Lords of Shadow was the immediate answer. But there's still room for 2D "classic" Castlevania games. Just look at Rayman Origins. This is how franchises are supposed to evolve.

Now, of course, if you don't like LoS's beat'em all/platformer gameplay, I can understand that you don't want to finish it. But those landscapes, boss fights and amazing cutscenes shouldn't be missed.
Especially the "after-credits" cutscene. It still shocks me. I just hope they're making a true sequel and not something similar to the two awful DLCs that were released within a few months.

How is castlevania still not with the japanese?

there have been OVER 4 japanese castlevania projects

to 1 western collaboration game remember kojimas team co developed it

Theres a rumor of 1 in dev for the 3ds.

At least as much evidence as this one which isnt much

[byeGollum]

I've yet to play Lord of Shadows, been meaning to :/ .. I shall, eventually ... I liked the Demo..

[baldulf]

I hope it would continue the epilogue of the last game.

So much potential!

[dorron]

LoS was an awesome game. Best ending for a game in this gen! Hope a sequel is in it's way!

[mysterious_warrior]

I really don't know how anybody can complain about the game. I loved the game, even though I didn't like the story too much...
