Cox's twitter account says "Producer@Konami".

I did find a profile for Cox on the IMDb that credits him as a Director of Product Management for Konami of Europe back in 2004 for a game called Air Force Delta Strike.  However, all of the Lords of Shadow interviews from 2009 and 2010 credit Cox as "Mercury Steam Producer" and many make reference to "his team at Mercury Steam"  No mention is made of his direct employment with Konami past or present.  Cox has already taken credit for negotiating the Lords of Shadow contract, and he may even be under contract obligation to develop the LOS sequel --that may explain his continued presence and the "Producer@Konami" bit.  In any case, he was quite vocal these past few months about his lack of knowledge or involvement in Castlevania's 25th Anniversary --and that was quite telling...

By the way, I am not the Boss of Mercury Steam, contrary to recent reports!! :) I work for Konami...

So presumably he is still working for Konami of Europe...  Now the question is how much pull does he have in Japan?

He has to be part of Konami if he had pitched an idea to KoJ. All the teams pitched ideas. IGA his, Europe their,s USA theirs, etc. Cox CV1 3D remake was what won, which eventually just became a completely different CV game
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

Fixed it. Because LoS was indeed supposed to be Cv2 (source: ALL the evidence)
