Konami is celebrating the 40th anniversary of *Castlevania* with several releases and events centered on the long-running series. The original 1986 game is now available free on iOS and Android, while the company has also launched a sale featuring retro *Castlevania* titles.

The *Castlevania* team has confirmed orchestral concerts as part of the anniversary program. Konami has also released a teaser that prompted speculation about a possible new collection of the series’ 3D games, though no such collection has been confirmed.
