Biggest hope: IGA finally gets to use the plans he had for the Demon Castle War game and it ends up being the coolest game ever, finally filling the last "true" gap in the timeline. Castlevania fans everywhere cheer and cry, and everyone is happy. The existence of a more modern entry in the series then leads to a beautiful fandom renaissance and gets a ton of people into the games. Julius Belmont smiles down upon us forever
Hoping they don't announce: Anything to do with Netflix lol, a mobile game, a pachinko machine, etc

Honestly even if IGA returns I don't know how I feel about Julius centric game. I have more faith in it if he's working on it, especially since he did have plans, but it's been like... 20 years since Aria of Sorrow, and with it being such a mysterious and important event that fans have been speculating about for so long, I almost kind of like that there is no solid answer to what happened? and a bit of me worries that no matter how good the game is, it will never quite live up to all the hype around it. That there will be no more mystery and room to dream; we know the answers.
Quincey Morris game I think would be funny, especially in the wake of Dracula Daily.
Honestly I don't really know what I want out of this. I'm not really sure where else there's room to grow with a fixed timeline, so I wouldn't be surprised at a whole other continuity again... my most unrealistic answer is "Lament of innocence remake where they actually spend more than one line in the intro or whatever making you care about the relationships between these characters". There is 0 chance of it but can you imagine?

While I may be a walking Julius fanclub of my own right I have to agree with leonbelmont. There's just too much speculation and theory surrounding what could have happened for one, true, canon version of 1999 to be satisfactory to everyone by now :( I don't want it to be a FFXV sort of situation where it ends up as a massive disappointment just from how long the wait is or anything.
I'm torn. I would really like to see what IGA had envisioned for that game, but it's been 20 years. Those ideas probably changed for him too, over time.
The wording of the stuff we've heard so far implies it won't be a remake, but I suppose it's still possible. I'm usually staunchly anti-remake for nearly everything due to being a massive snob, but I think a 'demake' of LOI where it's put in a 2D metroidvania format could be really cool and interesting. Just please god no fucking soulsbornevania like I keep hearing about, the gameplay wouldn't actually mesh at all and a soulsborne game with a Castlevania skin still wouldn't be Castlevania 😭

Doesn't fromsoft Castlevania already exist in Bloodborne? If anything, they should do a Castlevania styled like Mario, with the emphasis on unlocking new movement

castlevania open world rpg when. i cant tell if that would be bad in the same sense that these other hypotheticals are, or if it might actually be an interesting way to flesh out world-building (which i would love more of for cv, i like what they do but i am greedy. although thats what headcanon is for)

tbh I'd prefer Castlevania stick to 2D i definitely would too. there is something charming about castlevania with the n64 graphics, but i dont think i would get the same Castlevania Feeling when i play it- my favorite thing about sotn is the tight movement and platforming that works perfectly with how the jump height/distance functions- theres many reasons why cv is best on 2d
i wasnt advocating for an open world castlevania, if anything i was joking. but its still food for thought (i should have put a tone tag in my first statement lol)

Personally if they're going to break from the format, I'd love either a beatemup (<- girl who's played far too much Devil May Cry) or a fighting game that doesn't suck. Sorry but Judgement is like a fever dream to me I need a game with cloaks animated by whoever did Kim's pants in King of Fighters '02

I wonder, does the definition of open-world demand it be 3D? I feel like 2D has been abandoned in the name of "progress" and just gets chronically underserved as a format today as a result. Off the top of my head there's an Order of Ecclesia romhack that opens up all the areas so you can access them right at first, which people call open world...
I think the OoE hack proves it can be done, if level-scaling was added it'd be a pretty cool option for a new game.

I've always thought the linearity of the overworld portions of OOE were one of its biggest strengths tbh. But you're right, I guess my biggest association with open world is big 3D games since that's what gets made :P

thats a good question that i dont know the answer to. i think from a top-down view that could be an open world game? but the side scrolling makes it inherently linear.. that romhack sounds more like fable, where there are contained areas but it does create a good semblance of an open world (if that makes sense)
i think a metroidvania with a sprawling network of contained areas (including stuff like wilderness and towns you can visit, maybe even side quests and enviornmental storytelling, perhaps books or other worldbuilding devices like in bethesda games) would be really cool. they could utilize doors in the stages so that it creates branching paths, rather than the typical "every entrance to an area is found on the edge of the screen" (which i dont mind, but for the purpose of this hypothetical-)
(again, i have zero issue with cv being basically the polar opposite of an open world game, BUT i do like thinkin about it)

I imagine they'll announce a DS collection, if anything. Mayyyyybe a collaboration with IGA on another game?
