If you've been wondering just when Netflix would get around to bringing back Castlevania, we now kinda have an idea when Warren Ellis took to Twitter this week to let fans of the series know, as best as we're sure an NDA will let him, what the plans are for Season 2 of the animated[...]

Konami has announced a new game in the Castlevania series, but it's likely not what fans are going to be looking for.

This month we got a doozey as we got sent a Castlevania t-shirt This is basically the original NES cover to the first game, minus the Konami logo and made to look a little weathered and worn This is an amazing design that any fan of the series should have, and I could not ask[...]

After being asked relentlessly by Castlevania fans as to whether or not the series would be returning to Netflix anytime soon, Ellis threw up a tweet that should both appease fans for about ten minutes and then make them anxious all over again with a new set of questions. FAQ: people keep asking, so I guess[...]

Castlevania was written by comic legend Warren Ellis, and[...]

 There was talk of the film launching an entire franchise, where the dark and violent history of the Brotherhood of Assassins would spread throughout the historical ages, just like the games. This of course has fallen by the wayside after a mediocre box office return, but apparently that doesn't mean an Assassin's Creed universe is out[...]

While we've all been excited about Netflix's version of Castlevania coming, there hasn't been a lot of talk about who the voice cast is So we just assumed it would be like a lot of video-game related projects where we wouldn't find out anything until the show was on the air and we were reading[...]

I started to think about games like Contra, Gradius, and my personal favorite Castlevania.  Despite the near radio silence out of the publisher it doesn't take a detective to see that they have almost no interest in leveraging their classic properties in any other way besides pachinko machines The announcement of Castlevania and Silent Hill pachinko machines with no[...]
