The turn from the familiar Castlevania story frees Aria from the constraints set up by the now well-trodden establishment. Arikado then tells Soma to enter the castle and go to “the Master’s chamber” in order for him and Mina to return home. Arikado explains that Soma has the power to absorb the abilities of the monsters he kills. After Arikado defeats a group of monsters that suddenly appears in front of the group, one of the monsters’ souls is absorbed by Soma. The two meet a government agent named Genya Arikado, who explains that they are in Dracula’s castle. Suddenly, Soma and Mina are drawn into the eclipse, appearing at a mysterious castle. During a solar eclipse, Soma visits the Hakuba shrine with his childhood friend, Mina Hakuba. Soma Cruz is an exchange student living near the Hakuba shrine. Switching away from the traditional Castlevania story, Aria of Sorrow takes place in 2035 in Japan. That fact still remains true, two decades later. With the third and final GBA entry, 2003’s Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Konami appeared to finally get as close to Symphony as they could, despite the hardware limitations. Disappointingly for some, neither of the first two GBA entries were quite able to approach the de facto Metroidvania in Symphony of the Night. And seeing as the “Metroidvania” style was still hot, it made sense for Konami to try and continue it.
#Parasite eve 4 revival of nightmare series
The last game in the series was 2011’s The 3rd Birthday, which was released for the Sony PSP.Īfter briefly flirting with the idea of a 3D Castlevania with the Nintendo 64, Konami decided to go back to the 2D well with the Game Boy Advance. Aya must now find a way to stop Eve from destroying New York City, but also the world. It’s revealed that Melissa (now calling herself “Eve”) is the living embodiment of the mitochondria, and can control other people’s mitochondria. Aya and Melissa are the only ones left, with Melissa mutating into a creature and escaping into the sewers. During the aria of the diva, Melissa Pearce, people start to spontaneously combust. In Parasite Eve, New York City police officer Aya Brea attends an opera at Carnegie Hall on Christmas Eve. That, and the indication that the first game in the series could’ve been included on Sony’s PlayStation Classic Mini prior to launch. In fact, the last we heard anything about the series was when Square Enix had trademarked the name in Europe back in 2018.
Nothing has been confirmed as yet in regards to Square Enix actually pursuing a revival of the Parasite Eve series, be it a remake or a new entry. Square Enix developed Parasite Eve as a sequel to the book and released it in 1998. That also happens to be the basis for the story of the 1995 Japanese novel “Parasite Eve” by Hideaki Sena. “Symbiogenesis”, also known as “endosymbiotic theory”, is the evolutionary theory whereby two separate organisms combine to form a single new organism. Per Gematsu, Square Enix has filed a trademark for “symbiogenesis” in Japan, with the filing made back on October 13, and being made public today. Square Enix might be taking a cue from Konami when it comes to reviving the Parasite Eve series.
