The new game features an all-new storyline, a larger cast of characters, huge open world environments and breath-taking visuals delivered via a much more powerful, brand new in house game engine called Mercury Engine 2.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas the first game detailed the origin of Dracula and his legendary connection with the Belmonts, <strong>Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2<\/strong>, acts as a shocking finale to the <strong>Lords of Shadow<\/strong> saga, as Dracula returns once again; weakened and yearning for release from his immortal bonds. Facing a new and powerful threat, the vampire lord must amass his old powers \u2013 and his castle is central to regaining his abilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCastlevania: Lords of Shadow successfully rebooted the franchise but now we want to go further and exceed people\u2019s expectations on what to expect from the sequel,\u201d commented Dave Cox, Producer of <strong>Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2<\/strong> and Head of Product Planning and Development for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. \u201cThis new game tells a much broader tale and one that spans centuries. It is a game that pushes whatever format it is on to the absolute limit, and we are delighted that <strong>Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2<\/strong>\u2019s rich blend of first-class fighting, deep exploration and rich storytelling are set to delight and enthrall PC users, too. There\u2019s a darkness coming and with our new game engine, we hope to deliver something truly special across multiple formats that will set new standards for action adventure games \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Release Date: 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Formats: PlayStation\u00ae3, Xbox 360\u00ae, Windows PC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Studio: Mercury Steam<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>URL: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.castlevania-lordsofshadow.com\">www.castlevania-lordsofshadow.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced that it will release a Windows PC version of its stunning Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 alongside the versions for PlayStation\u00ae3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
