MercurySteam Wants to Move to Contra

If MercurySteam has anything to say about it, Mirror of Fate and Lords of Shadow 2 will be their last entries in the Castlevania universe.

Konami EU head of development Dave Cox told VG247, that he doesn’t want to be known as “Mr. Castlevania” and wants to “go out with a bang and leave that as our legacy in the Castlevania universe.”

However, Cox does have something else he wants to do at Konami.

“I love Contra. I’d love to do Contra. At Mercury Steam we’ve got an original idea that I think is really awesome. We’d love to bring that idea to market and I’m hoping that the success of Lords of Shadow 2 will allow us to do that.”
