Long running series that need a refresh/new blood

[Leynos]

All I want out of the next Castlevania is a 2D linear game like Castlevania IV or the NES games. Not saying looks like those. But classicvania. Already 45 million Metroidvania games out now 2D and 3D. Half of them are Castlevania itself. Besides Bloodstained is the Metroidvania SOTN series now. No. Either 2.5D or stylized 2D visuals. Maybe Lizardcube or something hand-drawn. Just no more SoTN clones. I have waited 30 fucking years for Castlevania to return to its old form. CVIV is still the best in the series. Linear. Dark. Atmospheric and gothic. LoS was the closest we came to replicating that.
