VGC first signaled Konami’s easing of its stance on licensing its gaming properties earlier this year, in a report revealing that the company has outsourced a new Silent Hill game.

It is understood that Konami is also working on a new Castlevania game, which sources have described as a “reimagining” of the series currently in internal development at Konami in Japan, with support from local external studios.

The Japanese bosses of Konami would have historically rejected most of the arguments to outsource its main gaming brands.

However, following the disappointing performance of recent in-house titles Metal Gear Survive and Contra: Rogue Corps, VGC sources said the company has become more willing to contract outside studios for its major franchises.
