The most recent Castlevania game tthat hit the consoles was Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. The plot behind this game revolves around Gabriel Belmont and his quest to search for a mask that has the power to revive one from the dead. To accomplish this task, he must seek out the Lords of Shadow who possess pieces of this mask. Unlike other games in the franchise, this game is a reboot of the series. It takes place in a different timeline from the other Castlevania games. In this timeline, Gabriel is the first of his bloodline and does not the wield the legendary whip, Vampire Killer. Instead the Combat Cross takes the place as the primary weapon and be used to create combos much like the Vampire Killer can. Another key difference is the developer. Kojima Productions (responsible for the Metal Gear series) was in charge of the design of this game. The concepts of the other Castlevania games were inputed into Lords of Shadow. After release, it was praised for finally making Castlevania work in 3D.This game has definitely made an impact on the series and fans alike because of it being the first in it's timeline. This game has established a name for itself and leaves many gamers and fans curious to see were other games in this timeline will go from here.
