Dracula's sullen son Alucard stars in the first DLC for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Konami announced today. Titled 'Revelations,' the add-on goes down a little before the main game, discovering what Alucard was up to and playing with his own vampiric powers. It's due on March 25 but is only announced for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 so far, not PC.
PS3 owners looking to sink their teeth into the PS3 digital version of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will also get Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate HD as a pre-order incentive.
"I am the dark shadow that chills the hearts of men!" roars Robert Carlyle in a new Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 trailer. "I am the fury. Your hate and your vengeance. I am your destiny!" It's a very dramatic affair, introducing the game's cast of demons, weirdoes, and really quite nice people through lots of exciting cinematic snippets.
"Dracula's origins, battles, family and past transgressions are revealed as viewers find him at his most vulnerable," Konami says of its latest trailer.
The Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Collection will be coming November 5, rather than October 29 as originally planned.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will release on February 25 in North America, Konami has announced.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate HD has been confirmed. It's coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 29.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 picks up right after the first game began. But, if you want the complete story, you'll need to play the 3DS spin-off... or wait for the HD console version.
MercurySteam's Dave Cox, head of development on the game, said the team had three goals when it went in to making the sequel.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is picking up from the epilogue of the first game, with darker, even crueler version of the game. Konami has released a six-minute trailer for the game showing some gameplay and the new abilities of Dracula.
