This is according to Konami’s European brand manager Richard Jones, who said that Konami is having “internal discussions” about what games to bring to the Nintendo Switch. He then suggested that Castlevania would be a good fit for the platform, considering the franchise’s popularity and its upcoming Netflix TV show.
Even though there is nothing set in stone in regards to a new Castlevania game at this time, the fact that Konami is even having discussions about it should give fans some hope. And if the upcoming Netflix TV series proves popular enough, it may be the proof Konami needs that pursuing a new game in the series is a worthwhile endeavor.
Instead of building a new Castlevania game from the ground-up, though, Konami may also consider porting its older Castlevania games to the Switch. After all, porting an existing game would cost far less development time and money than creating an entirely new adventure. It seems like the portable Castlevania games that were released for Game Boy Advance and DS would be especially good fits for Nintendo’s latest console.
For now, Castlevania fans will just have to wait patiently for news on a new game. But if Konami is serious about wanting to win fans back, a new Castlevania game would go a long way in accomplishing that goal.
A new Castlevania is being discussed internally at Konami.
