As an avid gaming fan, I am still seething at the nasty treatment Konami gave Hideo Kojima when they forced him out of the company. Still, the Japanese developer holds some rather popular franchises, such as Castlevania. Currently at Tokyo Game Show, Konami revealed a new trailer for the mobile game, Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, first revealed back in April 2018. The story goes that Genya Arikado (official English name), a shadow within the Japanese government, received a warning that the “grimoires have awakened” and thus foreshadowing the rebirth of Dracula after many years of peace and prosperity. … [Read more...] about – Debut game trailer revealed for upcoming mobile platformer
