Topic: Gossip.... future of MercurySteam

[PyramidHead]

Mirror of Fate reminded me of Prince of Persia on GBA. It's not exactly that I want to see in Castlevania series, but I don't mind the series going into this direction. If only they would stop using the bloody "REVENGE!!!" as primary motivation of ALL the main characters. Other than that - I'm fine with it.

I don't hate Konami, for that they are doing. Another studio working on the new Castlevania Game?! That could be good. Bergaron, thanks for sharing this... gossip with us

Well...
If this is true, this isn't good news.
As much as I'd like the canon to be continued, if the only thing they plan to do is make 1 or 2 games and finish it for good, then that is sad.
Worse than that: if they decided to alternate the two timelines, those of us who MISS SO MUCH the original timeline, we would have to ENDURE 2 or 3 years or alternate timeline each time. That means that the Castlevania kind of game we like to have, may come out every 5 years, or more.
When we used to have one per year (though that was unrealistic).
And even worse than that: they said that alternating two timelines would be illogical, so they apparently decided to establish a universe and make all unconnected stories, like Final Fantasy...
If the FF current state is the future of our beloved CV, that is the saddest thing.
I'm already imagining, no more CV characteristic soundtrack... no more sprites... no more episodes in the main timeline... no more identity (like what happened to FF)... in short, no more Castlevania.
Just a bunch or third party games with the brand attached to them, with nothing to do with each other, and nothing to do with the original canon. And with this I don't mean just Iga games, but everything from year 1 to year 25.

For your information, MercurySteam is already working on his next project, which is a game currently only for PC. I am not authorized to give information, but Castlevania is not part of the future of MercurySteam. Link with Konami ends this year with Lords of Shadow 2. Expect great from it.
Not good for the studio when our own fanbase gives misinformation.

I don't know if you are talking to me or to the OP, but whatever, I don't care.
If you have contact with the MS stuff, just keep them away from Castlevania or from any other beloved franchise.
They have proved to have certain talent for certain kind of things. Let them do that.

Not good for the studio when our own fanbase gives MISINFORMATION.  To value a first information must be read.

Why did I never heard of this tread? Dear bergaron thanks a lot, I like the "final fantasy" approach AFTER the conclusion of Iga's story.
And if you have more info it'd be welcome
