Konami plans to announce new Castlevania game later this year

Konami is reportedly preparing to announce a new Castlevania game later this year, marking the franchise's first mainline entry since 2014. The series has largely been inactive, with only remastered collections released in recent years. Sources suggest that the announcement could occur in 2025, potentially involving developer Mercury Steam. This shift comes as Konami has recently revived other franchises, including Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid. The popularity of the Castlevania animated series on Netflix has expanded the franchise's fanbase, making a new game more relevant now than in 2014. Details about the announcement timeline remain unclear.
