Konami and GameStop are offering a pre-order bonus for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate.

Konami have also released a new trailer and screenshots for the game in celebration of Halloween.

Perhaps the most significant addition that Mirror of Fate makes to the Lords of Shadow combat system is the ability to air-dodge.

New screenshots of the Nintendo 3DS game, featuring two of its four protagonists.

Konami give an updated look at the combat system for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate.

Get your first look at Alucard and Simon Belmont in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate.

Konami’s upper management considered MercurySteam’s proposed direction for the series “too radical,” but Metal Gear Solid creator, Hideo Kojima, intervened.

No new info; just a few screenshots of Trevor showing his loving side.

Mirror of Fate will take place mostly inside Dracula’s castle, but you’ll also get to go through some of the surrounding forests and underground caves.

Dave Cox also talks about the Lords of Shadow saga as a whole and a bit about Lords of Shadow 2 where players will control Dracula.

I took control of Trevor Belmont and skeletons greeted me when I stepped inside the gates. Skeletons are fodder enemies, but in Mirror of Fate it took more than one crack of the Combat Cross to take them down.

“I think the inspiration really comes from [Castlevania III:] Dracula’s Curse and not Metroidvania. It’s more about multi-branching pathways, the ability to go back and explore other area of the castle as other characters.”

Trevor can double-jump and use Light and Shadow magic. Simon can summon guardians. What can Alucard do?

Alucard will be joining Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate.

What better way to end a trailer than with ominous laughing and a knuckle sandwich?

“Trevor Belmont, a knight of the Brotherhood of Light sets out to avenge the death of his mother, at the hands of his own father…”
