Order of Ecclesia arrives this Fall.

Konami this week announced that it will be bringing its popular Castlevania series back to the Nintendo DS later this year in the form of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.

"We have always felt that the Castlevania franchise has been an excellent fit on Nintendo DS, and based on the popularity of the DS classics, Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin, our fans agree," said Anthony Crouts, VP of Marketing at Konami.

"We fully expect Order of Ecclesia to ignite the fan base once again as it combines the classic Castlevania gameplay with an all-new combat system and outdoor environments."

The game puts players in the shoes of a member of the Ecclesia, “an organization that has sworn to defeat the evil forces of Dracula,” and allows them to traverse more than 20 explorable areas including some outside of Dracula's Castle.

Order of Ecclesia is currently scheduled for a Fall release, but you can take a sneak-peak at it right now by browsing on over to the game's image gallery (above this post) for a look at the first official batch screenshots.
