Castlevania: Lord of Shadow Arrives Way Before Halloween
Castlevania: Lord of Shadow is the high-def reboot of the decades old franchise. With this iteration being specifically overseen by the legendary Hideo Kojima, it has definitely got plenty of attention so far. It looks as though we won’t have to wait much longer to get our hands on it, as it seems that Konami has just confirmed the released date at gamescom.
Finally solidified, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow will hit store shelves in the US in just six short weeks on October 5th. The game will launch in Europe just two days later on October 7th. Lords of Shadow is definitely an ambitious project, as it aims to be the first great 3D Castlevania game. Not taking place in any of the established Castlevania timelines, Lords of Shadow will focus on Gabriel Belmont as he tries to bring his wife Marie back from the dead. Konami isn’t pulling any punches with this game, going so far as to bring the phenomenal Sir Patrick Stewart on board.
While you wait, why don’t you check PlayStation LifeStyle’s E3 Impression of the game. If that gets you excited, you might even go order the Limited Edition, which is looking pretty fancy too.

I am really hoping this game turns out good.
Patrick Stuart is voice acting in it. That means it has to be good. It is an unwritten rule.
I’m hoping the same thing, this looks like it has a lot of potential. If I wasn’t so miffed by the previous 3D installments it’d be a first day buy (but dammit I gotta stop doing that anyway!).
Looks to be a terrible want to be GoW really… Kind of like Dante’s Inferno. Why do they have to disgrace such a great series by ripping off another games formula. I hope for the best because I love Castlevania, but I fear the worst because so many companies are just ripping others off…
Oh no! Same day as Enslaved!
…Now I have a dilemma.
@nootfloosh – good point! crap… wait for reviews on each?
