Fans of Koji "IGA" Igarashi can rest easy -- Konami has confirmed that the man who's overseen the Castlevania series for the last 12 years is still with the developer and working on new projects. Ever since 1997's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Igarashi has been the steward of the Castlevania franchise, going on to produce a couple of console titles and numerous entries on the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. But when Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima was revealed to be guiding Castlevania: Lords of Shadow at E3 (a new entry in development at Madrid-based MercurySteam), it led many to wonder what this meant for Igarashi's role with Konami -- or if he was even still employed there. But speaking with Kotaku during Comic-Con, Konami spokesman Jay Boor passed on the reassuring news. "He is still at Konami, and he is still working on projects," Boor said. No details about what these projects are were given, although Konami hopes to reveal one of the projects at Tokyo Game Show later this year.
