Konami is celebrating Castlevania’s 40th anniversary with a new animation that has already sparked speculation about a potential collection of the series’ 3D games.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original Castlevania launched in 1986<\/strong> for the Famicom Disk System, beginning a franchise that has now reached its 40th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate the milestone, Konami <\/a>released a special fan-service animation featuring Simon Belmont<\/strong> making his way through Dracula’s castle before encountering several other heroes from across the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it’s some of the background details that have caught fans’ attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could Konami Be Teasing a Castlevania 3D Collection?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the animation, Simon enters Dracula’s living room, where several framed pieces of artwork from previous Castlevania games can be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The featured games include Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, Castlevania: Lament of Innocence and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their inclusion has prompted speculation that Konami could be hinting at a future collection focused on Castlevania’s 3D era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, however, Konami has not announced a Castlevania 3D Collection<\/strong>, meaning the artwork could simply be part of the wider 40th anniversary celebration rather than a deliberate teaser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Konami is also marking the anniversary by bringing the original Castlevania to iOS and Android<\/strong>, where it will be available for free for a limited time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the anniversary celebrations now underway, fans will have to wait and see whether the references to Castlevania’s 3D history lead to something more substantial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
