Konami’s recent filing of a new trademark name, “Project Zircon,” has set off a flurry of speculation about the return of the beloved Castlevania saga. While some fans believe that the similarity to a precious gem from the game series points to a new installment, a closer look at the trademark’s stated purpose suggests that the brand is intended for use in a variety of fields, including software for commercial video game machines, arcade machines, and award-winning commercial gaming machines. With no official word from Konami as yet, fans of the vampire-hunting franchise will have to wait a little longer for news of a new chapter in the saga. In the meantime, some enthusiasts are already seeking to breathe new life into past Castlevania titles.
