For years, it seemed like Castlevania was dead and buried. But with last night's reveal of Castlevania: Belmont's Curse during Sony's State of Play stream, Konami's long-neglected saga of ghoul-whipping and vampire daddy drama is bursting back out of the coffin—in a Dracula-like fashion, I suppose you could say.

While an all-new 2D Castlevania from the Dead Cells developers at Evil Empire and Motion Twin is just about the best case scenario you could hope for, Konami says it has even bigger plans in store for the series' revival.
