30th January 2003:
The Legacy of Castlevania Continues
New screens and game information of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, the third instalment of the acclaimed Vampire hunting series for the Game Boy Advance.
Posted by John Grothier - Game Boy Advance - UK and Europe

Konami have just announced that the latest Castlevania title for the Game Boy Advance will be titled Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Following on from the huge success of Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, this third instalment on the GBA will feature an entirely new adventure from Koji Igarashi and the creative team behind the critically acclaimed cult classic Castlevania Symphony of the Night on the PlayStation.

'Aria of Sorrow adds so many amazing new features to the Castlevania series that this iteration is radically different from previous titles,' says Jason Enos, Product Manager at Konami. 'This is the first Castlevania set in the near future, the first Castlevania where the hero is not tied to the infamous Belmont clan of vampire hunters, and the first Castlevania to let you acquire the souls of enemies and use their abilities as weapons. Castlevania will never be the same!'

Aria of Sorrow is set in the year 2035 and our high school hero, Soma Cruz, is all set to witness the first solar eclipse of the 21st century. But suddenly he passes out and awakes inside an unfamiliar, mysterious castle, and so he must navigate through a maze of labyrinths and battle dangerous monsters to find his escape. Players will be able to collect and use multiple weapons, as well as use the souls of vanquished enemies to gain over 100 powerful attacks and special skills. And by using the Nintendo Game Link Cable, you can trade or exchange enemy souls with your friends. Expect stunning animated characters, gigantic monsters, astonishing special effects, a haunting musical score and breathtaking graphics when Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow will be released on the Game Boy Advance around May.
