According to latest rumours over at ResetEra , Sony are willing to purchase the IP and work on a full reboot. The most exciting part about this is that the game would be similar to Bloodborne, FromSoftware's PS4 exclusive and also Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. So a jam-packed action title but with Bloodborne combat and gameplay? Yes, please.

Of course, it is not surprising that Sony are interested in Castlevania, a franchise which is dripping with potential. The lore, the setting - everything is in place for a fantastic title and hopefully, Sony will bring us another masterpiece in the next few years.

At the moment, nothing is officially confirmed though, so we suggest you take the details with a grain of salt, just like any other rumour or unconfirmed info. That being said, Bloodborne-like Castlevania would be our dream game so fingers crossed that the rumour is true.

My d*** is so hard right now
 
Bloodbourne is legit my favorite game on Playstation and top 5 game of the gen. Castlevania is one of my favorite classic IPs of all time. There are few single player games that could ever sell me a console alone but if Sony did this, this would be one of them. Sounds like a perfect match in terms of making Castelvania a modern IP. Bloodbourne in a lot of ways feels like a modern Castlevania. All it needs is whips and boomerangs.

Maybe that’s what they’ll have blue point work on next, if they buy them though... wonder if they’ll be allowed to use three blood borne engine they used? They may have to make a whole new engine
 
I'd rather have Castlevania than any of Konami's other IP's but I'd want it to be a high quality 2.5D game with 3D models etc and not just sprites I want them to copy the art style of the old games with a modern twist otherwise they just look like pixel art or mobile phone games and I hate that. I wouldn't mind another stab at 3D either although I hope they'd do it with Alucard, playing him in 3D with his shapeshifting and cool powers would be fun.

They could replicate the look with 3d, just animate them “on twos”
