It has been a while since we have gotten a new Castlevania game, actually called that at least, but Konami are bringing the series back to mobile devices with Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls and thanks to Tokyo Game Show, have released a new trailer, it is in Japanese, but still worth a watch, check it out.

Many years have passed since the defeat of Count Dracula, and humanity has entered an age of peaceful prosperity. Until one day, Genya Arikado receives a mysterious letter.

“The Grimoires have awoken, and the world is being consumed by darkness. I implore you, please come to our aid!”

Wary of what may be lying in wait before him, Genya Arikado ventures forth into the moonlit night. The core narrative is centered around Genya Arikado. Within the narrative, you will be able to play as, and alongside many iconic characters across the Castlevania series.

A dignified figure working in the shadows of the Japanese government. Few are aware of the existence of Arikado, or his role as one of the few remaining safeguards preventing the resurrection of Dracula. He is a man with astonishingly beautiful features, but a cold temperament that few can overcome.
