A new video celebrating Castlevania’s 40th anniversary has a not-so-subtle tease for the final collection that fans have been begging for, although perhaps not to the fullest extent.

In just a few weeks, Castlevania is finally making its grand comeback with Belmont’s Curse, which is the first wholly new game in more than a decade. To be fair, though, Konami has kept the series alive through multiple classic collections that have remastered nearly every single game in the series.

Just don’t ask anyone who isn’t on PlayStation about the Symphony of the Night remaster. It’s a touchy subject…

Over the past few years, we’ve had collections for nearly every set of Castlevania games, from the classics in the Anniversary Collection to the DS games in the particularly impressive Dominus Collection. That’s just left one big subset of Castlevania games without a bundle - the 3D games that everyone has been asking to see return. Well, it seems that’s happening soon.

Earlier today, Konami posted a video celebrating Castlevania’s 40th anniversary, which is tomorrow, September 26. Towards the end of the video, Simon Belmont is shown making his way up to Dracula’s Keep, where he walks past four paintings. Ignoring the one representing Belmont’s Curse as the next step in the series, the three paintings are a pretty big tease.

Belmont’s Curse producer Tsutomu Taniguchi and creative director Emmanuel Nouaille dive into how it honours and innovates the Castlevania legacy.

Those paintings represent Curse of Darkness, Lament of Innocence, and the first Lords of Shadow game , which are three of the Castlevania series’ 3D games.
