A New AAA Castlevania Game to be Announced This Year, Says New Rumour

While
it
has
been
a
decade
since
a
brand
new
Castlevania
game
graced
us
with
its
presence,
the
brand
has
continued
to
exist
in
the
form
of
re-releases
and
the
Netflix
show.
But
now
it
seems
like
a
new
game
might
be
on
the
horizon.

At
least,
that’s
according
to
Portuguese
website
Geekinout
which
claims
to
have
spoken
to
sources
with
knowledge
of
Konami’s
plans.
Below
is
a
quoute
from
the
website,
but
please
note
it
was
acquired
via
Google
translate,
which
may
not
always
be
100%
accurate.

“Geekinout.pt
learned,
through
sources
with
knowledge
of
Konami’s
plans,
that
a
new
AAA
game
in
the
Castlevania
series
is
in
development
and
will
be
officially
announced
in
2025.”

Some
games
that
will
be
revealed/announced
this
year:

Tomb
Raider
(new
AAA
main
title)
Fire
Emblem
Remake
Nier
Automata
sequel
Castlevania
(AAA)
EA
FC
26
(😉)

Different
reliable
sources,
fairly
confident.

The
exact
source
is
up
for
debate,
though,
because
at
the
bottom
of
the
page
Geekinout
features
a
tweet
from
Daniel
Camilo,
another
industry
insider.
In
his
tweet,
Daniel
has
posted
a
list
of
titles
he
expects
to
be
revealed
or
announced
this
year,
citing
“different
reliable
sources,
reasonably
confident.”
On
his
list,
which
includes
a
new
Tomb
Raider
and
a
Nier
Automata
sequel,
Daniel
mentions
a
AAA
Castlevania
game.
Is
this
the
source
Geekinout
is
referring
to,
or
is
their
source
anonymous?

This
isn’t
the
first
time
we’ve
heard
about
a
potential
new
Castlevania
game,
either.
In
2021,
for
example,

GameRant
reported
on
rumours
that
Sony
and
Konami
were
discussing
a
potential
new
game
in
the
series.

God
of
War:
Ragnarok
director
Eric
Williams
also
told
the

Kinda
Funny
crew
in
2022
that
he’d
love
to
make
a
Castlevania
game.
Of
course,
that’s
just
a
wish,
but
in
conjunction
with
the
reports
of
Sony
talking
to
Konami
it’s
interesting.
And
Sony
has
been
growing
closer
to
Konami
over
the
past
year
or
two.

But
who
would
be
developing
a
new
Castlevania?
Mercury
Steam
were
the
last
studio
to
release
a
new
Castlevania
experience
in
the
form
of
the
poorly
received
Lords
of
Shadow
2.
Currently
Mercury
Steam
is
working
on
two
projects:
Metroid
6
for
Nintendo,
and
something
called
Project
Iron
for
505
Games.
It
seems
unlikely
the
studio
would
be
begin
to
support
working
on
a
another
triple-A
title
at
the
same
time.
