Konami registers “Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia” with US Patent Office

Apparently Konami patented Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia at the US Patent Office, according to The Magic Box. Couple this with current Castlevania chief Koji Igarashi’s words several months ago, that the next DS entry of the series would be announced a few months after the release of Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP, and it sounds like the first info is cropping up about the next game of the series.

But that isn’t all. This discovery may indeed tie it to screenshots…
