It appears that a team of indie developers is currently working on a free unofficial Castlevania game, Castlevania: Seal of the Eclipse. This Castlevania game is a tribute to the old 8-bit Castlevania titles, and is not related to Konami.
Designed after the spirit of the CotM titles, this project aims to present the Umbra team’s vision of 1999 in a more traditional-CV light.
Seal of the Eclipse will have a similar focus to CotM1&2 and CV3 and DoS. As such, the game will push the formula of standard platforming to accommodate multiple player characters who all have different strengths and weaknesses.
Although there isn’t any ETA on when it will come out, the team released a gameplay trailer that you can find below.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
