" IN a storytelling level, we wanted to reinvent the franchise, go direct to its heart. We took many elements and inspiration from the first castlevania, Simons quest, Super Cv IV. We are incluiding elements from Simons Quest, it had a world to explore, it wasn't only the castle.We want to imitate that because with that, once you arrive to the Castle for the first time everything is more spectacular.
There's a truth, this game doesn't enter to the chronology we all know. The best way to be friendly with new users is changing the traditional formula but with the classic escence. we are creating a castlevania for new and old players, but it's a shame that many gamers doesn't know the franchise.
The franchise went away from the big public a long time ago, it became a series only for a determined public. We want it to be in everyone's mouth, not in some one's .
Since 1997, the franchise was stagnant on the same formula, we don't want to create another Symphony of the Night, not anymore. We want to come back to the beginning with the best elements of the current top action games. We aren't saying that the fans will get dissapointed; we arent going away from the classic legacy. The fans will recognize a lot of things related to the franchiose, they will be in there but in a different way, this is pure Castlevania. For example, the whip swinging was takn from Super CV IV. We want the game to appeal fans and newcomers, but the fans will love it because it will feel different but also familiar.
We made trailers to surprise and make people atonished, but the combats aren't the only good thing in the game. we have a great story, puzzles, a lot of platafforms. it's very different of many action games because here we can explore, find different routes. I'TS NOT A SANDBOX, somewise is a linear game but we can take different routes and we are free to explore. It's a Huge game, an exper user will finish it in about... 20 hours. Still you can explore to find hidden objects, they won't be neccesary, but it will be delightful to the ones who want to get everything (Gonna catch them all!) There will be rankings, the posibility of new subweapons, new magic... little rewards to the ones who want to explore...
Gabriel's wife was murdered and he heard the legend about collecting the fragments of the mask of God to bring her back to life. The mask is his main motivation and obsession. later, we have the damaged mask, I can't say anything eles, but let's say that it's not that good".
