Nope. That's from the original teaser in September.

I think a synopsis is in order, seeing as I see a few users a little kerfuffled here, and being the 'vania mark I am, I will try and quickly summarize.

- Back in September of last year, this image was teased at PAX, and the kind of details from the image give the vibe of one of Koji Igarashi's games.
- The runes in the pentagram imply the words "What A Wonderful Night To Have a KS", with KS assuming KickStarter.
- Koji Igarashi puts his dream game - assumingly this - on hold, back in September, with a KickStarter never seeing the light of day. Presumably, the project is dead.
- On May 1st, Quarterwoman, a Twitter account referenced on the back of that original teaser, posts tweets all of a sudden, referencing elements from the original teaser, such as the pentagram, the moon, and the reference to 'gold and lead'; a key element, as the character of the game apparently is an alchemist.
- Also on May 1st, an image split into two images was posted on two Castlevania fan forums, the Castlevania Dungeon, and Chapel of Resonance. The user, going by the name IGAVANIA, posts the following quote:
The first sign rises with the full moon.
Soon, I will return.​
- Combining the two images, it reveals the original pentagram back in September, complete with a sword on the leftmost image, and a whip on the rightmost image.
- May 1st was the original release date for Castlevania in North America.
- The next full moon is on Monday, May 4th.


This is the story so far, and I hope it gives users a fuller picture of the scenario here. Some of this may be coincidental, but the timing seems awfully odd for all of this to be the work of one fan.

Someone start a new thread with this post as the OP.

That's from the original flyer, distributed at PAX 2014 in September. People were sure a KS was imminent but then IGA announced he'd gotten a job at a mobile studio because he couldn't find a publisher for his game and he was too "old-school" for Kickstarter.

That's not to say that I don't believe it's actually going to happen this time, I just want to brace myself in case it ends up fizzling out again.

Maybe a new thread would be best?

I think like the Elf Wars in Mega Man Zero, it's better to stay as a lore thing and less as a game. I mean, if we're to look at substantial events in the original canon that never become in-game events, there are quite a few.

- The events of Nocturne of Recollection, which was a radio drama sequel to Symphony of the Night. Written by IGA, so it's canon.
- The events of Ricordanza of the Gods Abyss, which is a novel sequel to Dawn of Sorrow. Like above, it was written by IGA, it's canon, and the last timeline specific event of the original series, as Judgment doesn't have a set year.
- The events of Quincy Morris killing Dracula in 1897.
- The events of Julius Belmont killing Dracula in 1999.

As you can see, there was still quite a lot of uncharted territory for the series as games, especially to adapt canon events as games. But I guess that chapter is closed for the franchise.

Wow I didn't know about the radio drama and novel. But too many events to cover and no one at Konami seems to be interested in 2D Castlevania so no use reminiscing over something we'll never get. Like you say, the ship has sailed unfortunately.
