Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Announced

The next Castlevania game was revealed by Konami recently. Details are as follows:

Order of Ecclesia stars a new female heroine who is a member of the … wait for it … Order of Ecclesia, a group out to destroy — who else — that vile Count Dracula fellow. The game introduces a new Glyph system that Konami promises will offer “more than 100 different combinations” of weapon and spell attacks. These attack mash-ups enable players to unleash two blows simultaneously. Buying and selling items and weapons via the Nintendo WFC is also pegged for this latest, characteristically beautiful addition to the classic 2D franchise.

The game is being developed by the same team that brought us Portrait of Ruin. The screenshots reveal the female protagonist in action. They also show that the art department brought a little more color to the game’s overall look, resulting in a more vibrant appearance. While it carries the risk of appearing a little cartoon-ish, the new visual direction is a welcome change.

Expect the game to hit Nintendo’s handheld this fall.
