    Konami’s only redeeming factor today is that they occasionally find people who give some fuck about their IPs and let them handle those.

        Castlevania DLC in Dead Cells, and if it’s anything like it, the new actual Castlevania game that is coming soon from the same developers. And it’s a new Castlevania game that is not a freaking pachinko machine. It’s been more than ten years since the last one… And that last one was also developed externally, by Mercury Steam.

        Konami signed on a lot of crossovers lately (there’s some random Contra ones too). Probably the only things of value bearing their name since forever.

          They also made a deal with Vampire Survivors of all things. And of course poncle went all in on it. That DLC is bigger than the base game and it’s such a love letter to the series that I’m not ashamed to say I shed a tear at the ending credits.
