Overview
An unnamed Castlevania title was announced at TGS 2008, intended for release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms. The game was to feature Alucard and be set at some point after the events of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, but little else was revealed.
The game was a no-show at E3 2009. Instead, Konami chose to unveil Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, highlighting Kojima Productions head Hideo Kojima's involvement in a supervisory role with no mention of involvement from longtime Castlevania lead Koji Igarashi, whose team was developing the unnamed Castlevania title.
No official word of cancellation was ever provided by Konami, but Igarashi's Castlevania title quietly disappeared while Lords of Shadow has gone on to spawn a pair of sequels. Igarashi has since left Konami and there is little chance that this title will see the light of day.
