Dave Cox working with MercurySteam on new project to be announced in April

Dave Cox, the former Konami head of studio and producer of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, is working with Castlevania developer MercurySteam on a new, unannounced project.

MercurySteam launched an updated teaser website today hinting at what is to come. The website features their unique “signature” art design credentials with animated key art and a countdown signaling a major announcement on April 15.

If you missed it, MercurySteam actually began teasing this game in July 2015.
