I wonder if they are going to follow the ending of LoS1 in any of the games.
I guess that all IGA haters are rejoicing now. Have fun with your fancy Belmont Dracula and rat stealth.

Sounds very plausible. So it seems that rumor about Trevor and Alucard showing up is false too. I'm glad about that since I wasn't really looking forward to those characters being reimagined.

Hah, I wonder if this Simon = Dracula's son thing is going to have the same backlash as Sonia's baby being Dracula's grandchild.

dont count anything out quite yet, considering there are allegedly 2 games in the works we can have all kinds of things blow our pretty little minds. Only a a week left to find out.

-Edit- also, funny little sidenote. They took out the Clos2 text in the web pages source code. now its all The Dragon Returns.

Yes, of course...

It would be a very good idea for them to combine the character of Simon and Alucard, though. That would seem a bit less convulted to me and allows for complete focus on the Belmont family. Something that would make a lot of people happy I'd imagine.

Sounds like Simon is either "Alucard" or a Dhampir.

If the Trevor rumors are true, perhaps the hooded man who dropped off baby Simon was Trevor after the events of MoF.

So who the heck did Gabey get laid with in the first place?
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

What if Maria had a baby and she never got the chance to tell Gabriel because he was possessed to kill her?

I wouldn't have a problem with the Simon/Alucard mixing process but when I think of Alucard I think of a vampiric looking guy with a sword, shield, and vampire like powers.

I'm cool with a whip but I hope there's more variety in this, if the above is true.

It was Zobek, actually.

I also noted a little reference: LoS Simon is 24 years old, and IGA Simon was 24 during NES Castlevania/Chronicles.

Technically on the site they said it was a Trevor and Simon combo for the 3ds game.

It makes you wonder though.....Is that wolf picture actually for Los2 and it's simon's wolf form?....hmmm
Or maybe the first rumor is true and alucard is playable in the sidescrolling adventure.

That's what I'm thinking now.

Damn the more rumors we get the crazier this new canon sounds.

From the rumored trailer description it was implied that Simon was conceived sometime after Gabriel became Dracul/a, so I don't think that's true.
