Basically the assistant director guy who turned Castlevania into a Metroid style game.

While Igarashi-san did voice his want to create a “core experience”, the suits at Konami simply wouldn’t let him do that after they handed off Castlevania to westerners and put him to work on cheap mobile games. However, it seems like a flyer from PAX 2014 has tipped us off to an upcoming announcement from the creator and his inevitable new game. Featured above, you can view that very flyer, which came to light via IGN staffer Jose Otero.

Just from looking at the blurb on the flyer, we can tell this much:

1) You're gonna be an Alchemist, instead of a legendary vampire hunter.

2) Crafting system of some sort, potentially.

3) There will be blood.

Also, the language surrounding the pentagram is Druidic Welsh, and translates into:

What a wonderful night to have a KS (Kickstarter)

YES YES YES!

If Order of Ecclesia is any indication of where he is headed design-wise then we are in for a real treat.

Hopefully it's a 2d one instead of a 3d one. Good quality 2D games are always a joy these days, for me, but sadly they're usually only released on portables/phones, when I want to play them on my computer.

You know I've never actually played a Castlevania game. I like Metroidvanias, Alchemists and Crafting systems. Generally speaking though anything with the word "Blood" in has tended to be a huge miss for me in terms of atmosphere. Certainly something I'd look into when we have more detail.

I actually just rediscovered Dust, an Elysian Tail and I LOVE IT. I'm also really hoping this is 2D, but I think he realizes (Or hope, rather) that the 2D is better.

Oh man, this could be delicious. I hope they're keeping with the Gothic atmosphere.

WANT!
