Here was Isaac and his legion of monsters, all loyal to him and fresh from decimating the city, yet the sea captain has a calm and cool discussion with a man who is openly hostile to any human he meets. It’s not often that Castlevania becomes tense without any action present, but the entire scene in “The Reparation of My Heart” where Isaac and the sea captain strike a deal was far more engaging than it had any right to be. Yet he strikes up a camaraderie with both the merchant and a sea captain (Lance Reddick from John Wick) that is unexpected, but not unwarranted. While Isaac has been a character who is normally quiet and reserved, his hatred of humans is palpable and when angered he’ll be quick to slaughter them, as he does most of the inhabitants of the city he visits. Instead of seeking an immediate path of retribution and slaughtering everyone he comes across, instead we see a restrained Isaac having a conversation with a merchant in an African city regarding a mirror that would allow him to find Hector and kill him for vengeance against what Hector did to their former master. The first plot focuses on Isaac (Adetokumboh M’Cormack) and his quest to fulfill Dracula’s wish to destroy all human life on the planet. Throughout “The Reparation of My Heart,” several plot threads and mysteries are established that will probably define the quality of the season moving forward, with four key plots emerging in four vastly different locations. You can say a lot about Castlevania’s style, atmosphere, and visceral action, but intrigue isn’t something one would normally associate with the show.

At long last, Konami now seems to be preparing to satiate those requests.The following review contains spoilers for Castlevania season 3, episode 2, “ The Reparation of My Heart.” Because of this, fans have been clamoring in recent years for a new installment of some sort to come about.

Even though the video game franchise has largely been dormant (outside of the release of a handful of remastered collections) since the launch of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, the property has continued to maintain relevance thanks to an accompanying animated series on Netflix.

In the past, most Castlevania titles have taken the form of 2D sidescrollers, although Konami's most recent outing with the series in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow instead centered around fast-paced action combat.Īs a whole, the fact that Konami would look to bring back Castlevania at this point in time tends to make quite a bit of sense. Details involving the form that this new game might take haven't been revealed at this point, but it is said to serve as a "reimagining" of the series. According to the multiple sources close to Konami, the company is currently working on this new entry in the series with assistance from external studios that are in proximity to the publisher within Japan. News of this new Castlevania game comes from a recent report published by VGC.
