The Belmonts Will Live Forever

…Or at least the famous bloodline of vampire hunters will live as long as their caretaker, Koji Igarashi.
According to a recent discussion the developer had with MTV Multiplayer, Castelvania games like the recently-announced Order of Ecclesia will keep on coming.

““I definitely have a passion for the franchise. I mean, I’m definitely excited to do each iteration of the game — and also my team. A lot of people came to Konami because they’re huge fans of Castlevania. That’s another inspiration to keep on going, and it is a passion, definitely.”

This is good or bad news depending on whether or not you’re starting to tire of the DS’ ever-expanding stable of Castlevania games. On the other hand, I don’t want 2D gaming to die, and if you have to put up with the likes of Charlotte and Johnathan from Portrait of Ruin for me…Well, I’m sorry for your troubles, but I’m riding this horse ’til it falls to pieces under me.
