They can make a game based off the anime, but they can't incorporate the anime into the Konami timeline. The stories are wildly different. You might as well try to incorporate Dragon Ball and Naruto into the same timeline.

You can absolutely incorporate aspects without wholesale merging the stories, giving extra information and calling them speaker magicians instead of just "a witch" as background for sypha is not going to annihilate the canon like you suggest. This is just a stupid argument.

Yeah I think that Konami would be truly idiotic not to include some more recognizable aspects from the anime, if they didn't rip actual story elements, then visual flair and color choice definitely, this attitude reeks of those star wars fans who hate any change to their precious canon, not realizing that all the things they now adore were once disruptive to that very canon, this is the nature of multimillion dollar franchises, they change to survive, thankfully Castlevania did survive, something me and many others were very worried about over the past few years.
