The following info comes from a VG247 interview with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 producer Dave Cox...

- Mercury Steam will not be involved in the next Castlevania

“I think if you’ve got something to say, you should just say it, and when you’re done, just shut up. And we’ve got something to say. And once it’s out there…I think it’s time for somebody else; somebody younger, a younger producer to come in and take up the mantle and do what they think would be right for Castlevania and for us to move on to something else.

I think Castlevania is a series that has evolved over the 26 years to what it is today and I think it’s in good shape right now and I think people will really enjoy the last one. There’s a lot of surprises and I think we’re going to deliver something unexpected.”
