Veteran Castlevania composer Michiru Yamane had confirmed in a recent post that she would not be providing music to either the upcoming Belmont’s Curse game or the upcoming Bloodstained game in a recent video update. This will no doubt be a disappointment to those who were hoping to see her make her return to the former or continue her contributions in the latter.
Her not doing music in Belmont’s Curse isn’t much of a surprise. I’m sure the Dead Cells people have their own composers that they could use and while I think that’d be a cool thing to have her come back and bust a couple tunes, it’s not a total deal breaker, either. However, the fact that she’s not doing Bloodstained is a bit of a surprise. Not sure if it’s scheduling issues or Iga wanting to go in a different direction, but considering she had been an instrumental part of that Igavania equation since it ran roughshod these past two decades, it’ll be interesting to see who fills the void and if they can live up to the legacy she established in either brand.
In any event, I wish Yamane-san all the best in all her future endeavors and I look forward to seeing who steps up to the place in either game.
