  Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (PS2, Xbox) - E3 News - Gaming Age
Hector, one of two Devil Forgemasters who once trained under Dracula, has fled Vallachia disillusioned with the ideals of his mentor.
Told in true Castlevania style by award winning producer Koji Igarashi, this action-packed tale of betrayal and revenge takes players on a journey through an expansive world filled with formidable foes and beautifully rendered environments to the ruins of Dracula’s castle.
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness will be available for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system and the Xbox in the fall.

 Castlevania: Curse of Darkness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence was paved with good intentions - although it had smooth gameplay combined with a pleasantly brooding atmosphere, the level structure was unfortunately dull, and many of the RPG aspects that had built up over the course of the series had been stripped away.
Hector gains experience points and levels as he fights through the castle, and the non-linear exploration has returned, although the E3 was a straight line to the end - there wasn't even any map.
It's surprising that Castlevania is being released for the Xbox alongside the Playstation 2.

 Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
Even though at a recent Konami press event Koji insisted that he did not want to show the current build of Curse of Darkness given its present state, the people there were nevertheless treated to a short video and brief synopsis of the title.
Hector, being the Devil Forge Master that he is, "...can create innocent demons and then control them." Like most of Curse of Darkness, the real meaty details behind this mechanic are still largely unknown to us.
Afterward Koji admitted that, "Castlevania is well under way in production and we're working really hard to make sure we have something playable at E3." Game viewers sure hope so, because right now it's impossible to tell what Castlevania is all about.

From its 2D roots through to this third-person action adventure, Castlevania has seen generation after generation of the Belmont clan attempt to free the land of Vallachia from Dracula's bloodthirsty threat.
Previously one of two pupils of big Drac himself, Hector quit the castle when he got fed up of his master's sinful ideas - presumably repelling mobs of villagers and cleaning up all the blood was just too much for the lad.
But Hector's got a set of new talents to freshen up the old hack'n'slash formula - he's prepared for some serious demon ass-kicking, and as a Devil Forgemaster he can form allies with the numerous Innocent Devils that swarm around the environment.
