History VideoGame / CastlevaniaResurrection

''Castlevania: Resurrection'' is a canceled game in the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' series for the UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast. The game was intended to release as a launch title for the system before delays pushed it back to 2000 and cancelled shortly after.

As previously mentioned, ''Resurrection'' was canceled partway through development. It is widely believed that Creator/{{Konami}} didn't have faith in the fledgling Dreamcast and decided to jump ship, as the cancelation was announced on the same day that Creator/{{Sony}} revealed the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2. The game became something of a myth amongst the video game community due to the known existence of a working demo, which didn't surface until 2021 and leaked on the internet. The demo is notably incomplete with missing collisions, a roll mechanic that doesn't work and broken set-pieces where obstacles are missing or don't work. At least you can still play as Sonia in a selection of levels.

* WhipItGood: The Vampire Killer, wielded by both of our heroes.

* TheBusCameBack: Or it would have, had this game not been canceled it would have been the second time Sonia from VideoGame/CastlevaniaLegends was even in a Castlevania title, let alone a main, playable character.
* TheDragon: The Countess (her real name is unknown).

!! ''Resurrection'' would have provided examples of:

* WhipItGood: The Vampire Killer, wielded by both of our heroes.

* NumberOfTheBeast: The year the game is set in, 1666.

** Also a meaningful year because the game was supposed to be set in London, and this is the year of the Great fire.

* RefusalOfTheCall: Victor wanted nothing to do with his family's job as vampire hunters, but he ended up becoming one anyway.

The year is 1666. A mysterious countess attempts to resurrect Dracula by bringing him through a portal. Since there is no Belmont available to fight them, the PowersThatBe pull two Belmonts from different time periods into the year 1666 to fight the forces of evil. These two are Sonia Belmont from the year 1450 (who debuted in VideoGame/CastlevaniaLegends), and Victor Belmont (a new character) from the late 1800s, who had tried to break from his family's lineage of vampire hunters.
