Tropes used in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow include: Another, more direct sequel, Castlevania : Lords of Shadow 2 for Play Station 3 and Xbox 360 was released in 2014. Traveling through ancient groves, mausoleums, forgotten temples, castles and swamps on his quest for an artifact that may bring Marie back from the dead, Gabriel encounters all manner of characters both mortal and immortal.Ī sequel for the 3DS, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow-Mirror of Fate, was revealed in the June 2012 edition of Nintendo Power. Either way, Gabriel has a personal stake in the matter: his wife Marie was recently killed, and he hopes to (at the very least) speak with her again and, if possible, discover a way to bring her back to life. Perhaps someone - or something - has cast a spell powerful enough to separate Earth from the heavens, preventing the dead from moving on.
Perhaps humanity has been abandoned by God. The story is an Alternate Continuity from the previous titles and concerns Gabriel Belmont, an orphan raised by the Brotherhood of Light and currently tasked to speak with the Old Gods in order to determine the nature of a darkness afflicting the world. It's quite possibly the most divisive game in the entire series. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, developed by Mercury Steam (creators of the Love It or Hate It horror FPS Clive Barker's Jericho), advised by Hideo Kojima and released in the United States on October 5th, 2010, is the first 3D Castlevania title since Castlevania: Curse of Darkness on the PlayStation 2.
