Having played an early version at E3, we have to admit that this delay was definitely a smart move on Konami's part.Ĭastlevania: Resurrection takes place in a full 3D world, similar to the N64 Castlevania.

The title may not only refer to Dracula's resurrection, but Sonia Belmont's mysterious resurrection from her grave.Although it was originally supposed to come out this November, Konami's Castlevania: Resurrection has been pushed back to a first quarter 1999 release.

On April 27, 2021, the demo was released to the public via the owner and featured on the Sega Dreamcast Info Preservation Games site for archiving and distribution to the public. The available areas (and other screens) on the 'Selection Level Menu' are: Her attack patterns are still very basic, though, and she barely fights back, only spewing poison every once in a while. The fight consists of two phases, the first where she slithers around in her serpentine-like body and the second in which she turns into a large head that floats about. The demo also features a boss fight for one of the levels: Medusa.

The available areas are not connected to each other and instead each one can be accessed through the START menu at any time. Upon load, the company screens are displayed (Dreamcast, Sega and Konami), then the title screen appears for only one second and then the game automatically starts already in one of the levels. The game features five fully playable stages (although allegedly the 'Corridor' stage doesn't load), including enemies and hazards (apparently, no damage is yet implemented for the latter). The game allegedly is a pre E3 demo still in an early beta build, dated on November 5, 1999, under the company KCEA (presumably for 'Konami Computer Entertainment America') on the disc's label. On April 4, 2021, a video called Castlevania Resurrection Exists! was uploaded on YouTube on the channel cvr exists (for 'Castlevania Resurrection Exists', apparently exclusively created for this purpose) which showcases a fully playable prototype of Castlevania: Resurrection.
