General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse!!!
« Last post by GuyStarwind on February 21, 2026, 04:35:01 PM »Here's to hoping future Castlevania "products" are in hands that excite me more; the devs of Infernax, The Last Faith or even FromSoftware would be welcome.
I'm glad someone else agrees that the Infernax people would do a great job on a Castlevania game. Heck, the game already has a couple of Castlevania references.

*I vastly prefer linear or branching paths over the exploration platformers that came from SOTN and onward.
*I like Tom duBois's artwork way more than Ayami Kojima's. The latter stayed on for far too long and made all the heroes too feminine.
*I think Dracula X is underrated and a great companion piece to Rondo. Like a second quest or DLC.

General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Trevor/Sypha's Offspring (Belmont's Curse Discussion)
« Last post by Scarlet starlet on February 20, 2026, 10:54:06 AM »I’ve got a theory that this character could be the ancestor of the Morris Clan. She herself is a Belmont - however, the whip seems to be only usable down a male line of the Belmonts. Perhaps the messed up hands could be a result of using the Vampire Killer Whip when not considered its true heir? Kinda messed up, but a thought ha. (doesn’t explain why both hands seem effected)My hope is they dodge the topic entirely and/or give her a little brother who can't fight yet.
It's not up to Evil Empire to tackle such a troublesome topic as the Belmont's succession rules / vampire killer blood pact functioning. It's too important not only for the cousins but also for the clan disappearance after Richter and later the emergence of Julius. Also Soleil getting his powers and seemingly the whip in a special cerimony.
The curse in the new game must have an evil origin, the Morris never manifested such a thing.
It's probably inspired by Simon's Quest.

« Last post by Kaneda on February 18, 2026, 07:13:22 PM »I came here to post with the expectation that my opinion would be unpopular. But it looks like others have some of the same reservations I do.
Honestly... I don't feel as optimistic as I should. I've seen so many things dragged out of mothballs and gotten excited only to see it get ruined by people who think they know better. Most of the time it's a monkey's paw scenario.
It looks less like Castlevania and more like a game that pays homage to Castlevania. And I get the sinking feeling that the Netflix show might've informed its storytelling and aesthetic. That doesn't inspire confidence. Also, yet another female protagonist in an era that doesn't know how to properly make them.
I want to like it. I want to be wrong. But we'll just have to wait and see.

And if Belmont's Curse isn't the only game we are getting...
-A pixel art Classicvania done by other devs. For example the guys who did Curse of the Moon, but there are lots of viable choices here. It's cheap to make, works on every platform and takes less than a year of development.
-a 3D remake of Castlevania III. Trevor's story never got a remake unlike Simon's, and it's a very viable choice in my opinion because with Trevor/Sypha/Alucard/Grant you could potentially make happy both the classic fans and the Netflix fans. With Alucard being the elephant in the room, you can't do a full Castlevania relaunch without including playable Alucard somewhere (and it can't be in Belmont's Curse because he is slumbering in Romania). I have no idea how the game should play though. Out of all the 3D iterations of the series, I only liked the N64 games.
-Harmony of Despair release for Steam. If successful, this would be the Trojan Horse to bring back the SOTN/GBA/NDS gameplay and perhaps Igarashi
I feel at least one of these will happen in some shape or form, especially a 3D triple A outing . Would be awesome if "This is the beginning of numerous new products around Castlevania." means we'll get more than one new game with different development teams in charge, much like Konami already did with Silent Hill starting 2024.
