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.
Remember how Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate HD was supposed to be launching on October 29? Not anymore, on Xbox 360 at least. The revamp of MercurySteam's Nintendo 3DS game will arrive on Friday, Microsoft has revealed, though PlayStationeers will need to wait.
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.
Yes, the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow demo may have hit consoles almost three years ago, but look, the game's three years late in coming to PC so a demo is still jolly exciting to us. It's out now, ahead of the PC Ultimate Edition's long-overdue launch on August 27.
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.
Mention of a PC release for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was spotted in Steam's registry back in March, and now it's as official as something that was clearly happening can be. Publisher Konami today announced the PC version will be an 'Ultimate Edition' complete with the two DLC chapters, and is due to launch on August 27.
Dave Cox, studio head for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, says they would "absolutely" consider putting the game on HD consoles.
