Actually I prefer Umbra of Sorrow being finished and IGA focusing more on the Bloodstained franchise.

I do not want Konami to any involvement with Castlevania. I want them to sell the right to some other company.

This was probably the other game he wanted to finish

It is likely this game has been canceled. It was announced that producer Koji Igarashi wasn't going to develop a 3D Castlevania game. As a result, several pitches for a new 3D game were presented. Ultimately, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was chosen to become the next Castlevania game on PS3 and Xbox 360.
According to Castlevanua wiki, nah.
Citation links to a Dave Cox interview, but the link is broken so take it as you will. Still sad that ma boi Arukado didn't get another game tho.

All I know is that several years ago, I recall reading an official article off a site where a motion-capture actor was being interviewed, and he said he was hired by Konami for his latest project which was doing work for a next-gen 3D Castlevania game in Japan, that they hired him to do several scenes. But then the project was canceled & he moved on to other things (and no, it wasn’t Lords of Shadow)

That right there tells me that their was some effort & resources put into it than a simple teaser trailer. If someone can find that article that’d be great, but this is going back at least a decade so good luck. I do distinctly remember reading it though, so so I’m not just pulling this out of my ass

Okay, I believe you, I'm just shareing what I dug out. I only got into Castlevania a few years back and I can't find any of those interviews so I'm using that wiki as a last resort, so pardon my semi drunk yammering. But just in case the wiki's correct, what are the other possibilities? The only game thqt I know was hinted but wasn't released is the 1999 one. Are there any other gaps in the timeline that I dont recall? If no then you're provably right.

In another old old interview, IGA was asked that after Lament of Innocence, Dracula got away & disappeared for centuries. The interviewer then asked, “what were the Belmonts doing for 300+ years?” IGA laughed & pretty much avoided the question. I’m sure he had some ideas but it’s all meaningless now

Did you try copy/pasting the URL in the internet archive? A lot of interviews with Cox are archived on there.

I tried now, but I either did something wrong or the link isn't right in the first place. This is the link that Castlevania wiki sent me to:

I'm not sure how gameradar formats their links, but I kinda doubt that a goddamned wall of page=3/? is the correct link. For now I'll just look through more Dave Cox interviews that are still on the interwebs and in case I find any mention of the game I'll post it here.
