Yesterday
Konami revealed that they are working on a new mobile game in the
Castlevania game series called
Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. The official site for the game is now taking applications for a closed beta test for iOS device users, and applicants will be contacted in mid-May.

The game's story is described as being set in a future where Dracula seems to have been completely destroyed, and peace is almost all over upon the land. But Genya Arikado receives a letter that tells of an end to this new found peace. It reads, "The Grimoire is loose. Dracula will be resurrected." In order to find out the meaning to these words, Genya sets out to meet the letter's sender.
The story focuses on Genya Arikado and his assistant Lucy, but familiar Castlevania characters such as Alucard, Simon, Charlotte, Shanoa, and Maria will also make appearances. For those who want to play with friends, the game will allow solo play but also allow cooperative play between up to four players.
