the game director would like to work on Castlevania

We suspect that since the release of God of War Ragnarök (November 9), the teams of SIE Santa Monica Studio have granted themselves a little rest as the site was immense. Once the last Nordic episode of the series has been completely digested, they will be able to take up other challenges. We know that for this sequel, Cory Barlog, the director of God of War 2018, gave way to Eric Williams for two reasons. The first is simply that relaunching the series four years ago literally put it on the knees, and it was therefore preferable for another person to take control of God of War Ragnarök. As for the second reason – which is more rumor this time – Cory Barlog would be working on a brand new license turned towards science fiction. Without revealing anything, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the guy said that several projects were currently in the making within the studio.

As for Eric Williams, he recently made a statement that will no doubt arouse the curiosity of Castlevania fans. Indeed, during the Kinda Funny Games Spoilercast, the director of God of War Ragnarök indicated that he was interested in the famous Konami series. “I don’t know what my next game will be, but if someone could give me the Castlevania license, it’s something we would like to work on“, he said before adding jokingly that his confession could cause him some trouble. Nevertheless, Konami may not close the door, the Japanese publisher having commissioned Western studios to bring foreground the Silent Hill series – Silent Hill 2 Remake is developed by Bloober Team, Silent Hill f by NeoBards Entertainment, Silent Hill Ascension by Genvid Technologies, and Silent Hill: Townfall by No Code.

The last Castlevania (Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2) dates back to 2014 and was developed by the Spanish studio MercurySteam.
