Konami release new information regarding the sequel to Castlevania for N64

The semi-sequel to Castlevania for the N64 is called Castlevania Special Edition according to Konami Entertainment. The game tracks the adventures of Kohnel, a young werewolf out to meet up with everyone's most-feared vampire, Dracula himself.

Oddly enough, the backbone storyline for the game takes place in a time before the arrival of either Reinhardt Schneider or Carrie Fernandez when Dracula was just a budding bloodsucker. And, even more strange, our werewolf main character is unsure as to whether or not he must find the head vampire in order to kill him or serve him.

The game, developed by KCEK (who created last year's game), is said to use a slightly modified version of the engine used for Castlevania 64, meaning it takes place, once again, in 3D via polygons. Kohnel, was one of the extra selectable personalities scheduled for the original title, but was cut at the last minute because Konami opted to iron out the storyline and gameplay for Reinhardt Schneider and Carrie Fernandez instead.

It is not yet known whether Special Edition features any of the characters present in last year's game, or just how much of the title is original. The title is scheduled to release this autumn.
