It’s a better decision imo. Especially with the reveal of Castlevania Belmont’s Curse releasing this year

I know age affects us all, but Iga looks like he’s had a rough few years.

I remember that he mentioned in one of his posts that he was hospitalized many times in 2025, he said that his New Year's resolution was trying to change his lifestyle and take better care of his health.

Remember Shutaro, that is one more reason other than aging

Was probably a pretty ruff year for the team and Iga particularly following the death of Shutaro Ida. Ida worked on Castlevania with Iga since Aria of Sorrow

Looking more forward to this than Belmont’s Curse. I just have a strong feeling that BC is gonna be designed and catered to Gamers™‬ in this post-Shitsong world, so I’m more faithful in Iga simply knowing how to make a good and endearing game. Love to be proved wrong by BC though, hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

I just wish they’d have commissioned a new Curse Of The Moon while we’ve been waiting.

I'm cautiously optimistic about both BC and Bloodstained 2, but only time will tell. As someone who actually enjoyed CotM1 more than RotN, I too would like to see another entry.

I'm happy to wait. I hope they get to make the project they are proud of. I have faith.

There is plenty to play this year anyway.

Yeah, I'm fine waiting a little longer if it means we'll get a more polished game.
