People will have to wait a bit for the next Castlevania project from Konami, it can take a few years of development.

Specially if it's being made by Kojima or does have his involvement somehow (he has MGS V and Silent Hills after that to work after all). Maybe another oversee role.

But, Kojima is not the only japanese programmer at Konami, isn´t? If the company wants a new Castlevania, I think that its there another programming team apart from Kojima´s one... But sincerely, I can´t imagine a Kojima´s Castlevania...

Then people decided the Japanese pronunciation was "better" like the people who insist on calling Guts from Berserk "Gatts" or "Gattsu"

There is a lot of such weeaboo malarkey in otaku circles.
Oh yeah, and also:

Kojima's the only one that matters at Konami, seemingly. They've really whittled down their team options by putting all their stakes on MGS and Kojima. Oh well...

And rumor has it that Silent Hills won't be out until 2016, so don't expect a CV game at least until after that.

As far as I'm concerned, if they announce this not-Castlevania IGA game and it's looking to do what Konami-don't, I have no prob making the transition. I've really been lacking the patience regarding some of these games(Final Fantasy XV in particular, which in a recent article, Tabata sounds like because it's been taking so long and they've sunk so much money into it, it's fate will determine a LOT regarding the series' future). We'll always have the good old days and good old games, but if Konami don't wanna do nothing with the series, we can't change them, and waiting years in the dark isn't too appealing. I'm not the spry youngin I was ten or twenty years ago. The days of awe and excitement's basically over, and all of those who worked on some of the best CV games we all know and love either left Konami or have no desire to work on the series again.

Absolutely agree, pal.

Its sad to me how Konami, being one of my favorites companies in the 80s and 90s is now focused in Metal Gear and Silent Hill. I have nothing against the last one, but I simply don´t like the MG games (except Rising 8)).

If the "new" Castlevania comes from another company, or from IGA in a Kickstarter project, and if that game have ALL the elements from the Castlevania games, I will follow that "new series", ´cause it will have the elements that I love from my favorite saga...

The reason I call Guts "Gatsu" is because my only experience of the series is the Sword of the Berserk video game on Dreamcast, where Puck specifically calls him Gatsu in one cutscene ("Gatsu!!! Terrible news!!!").

But outside that game, I don't know anything about the series.

I read on Facebook that the Runes around the Pentagram translate to:
"What a wonderful night to have a KS"

Not sure if this is news.

"Operation: Akumajo"'s Facebook page has someone with the runic translation.  Not sure is KS is "Curse" or KS is the initials for the upcoming game, but that translation is definitely some kind of indication...

KS = KickStarter

I could be wrong, though.

If this is correct(which it has to be, or else it's one HELL of a coincidence, and I mean H-E-L-L-!-!-!), that's pretty damn genius. Not only that, it's basically saying it IS a spiritual successor to the CV series. Excellent!

So a Igarashi/Inafune collab could be in the works after all?

Bring on Mansionrumble I say!

They could be, or they're both using the same marketing guys. A lot of people from 8-4 were involved with Mighty No 9. 8-4 has also localized a number of IGA's games.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully we get an announcement at TGS.

Fan-tastic! Now I'm truly hyped. Looking forward to more info.

The reason I call Guts "Gatsu" is because my only experience of the series is the Sword of the Berserk video game on Dreamcast, where Puck specifically calls him Gatsu in one cutscene ("Gatsu!!! Terrible news!!!").

But outside that game, I don't know anything about the series.

That's a shame. If you like fantasy you should give the manga a try. (Avoid the movies and TV show first.) I feel comfortable saying it's one of if not the greatest fantasy epic of our generation. The only problem is that, due to the incredibly intricate artwork and expansive plot, updates are infrequent. But then that gives you plenty of time to catch up on 25 years/36 volumes of the story in the meantime. It gets very dark though. With major themes including the lasting effects of (child) abuse, and betrayal.
