I promised more details about the upcomingCastlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fatefor 3DS, so here they are. Don’t ever say I never did nuthin’ nice for you jabronis.
Also from theNintendo Powerreveal, we learn that MercurySteam, the team behind the originalLords of Shadow, is the developer behindMirror of Fate. Usually such handheld ventures are handed off to some other studio while the primary team dedicates itself to the home console versions, so this at least demonstrates confidence in the portable space. The game is primarily played from a 2D / 2.5D perspective, although every so often the environment will open up to allow for combat in 3D space. Still, the adventure is more exploration-based than its combat-focused predecessor, so it should offer a nice balance between the modern style and the beloved “Metroidvania” style.
The remaining two characters have yet to be revealed, but I hope more Belmonts come along for the ride. Who else will we see? Christopher? Richter? TheLords of Shadowtimeline is separate from the mainCastlevaniahistory, so we need not worry about introducing plot holes and time paradoxes!
