Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate officially stakes out a 2013 release

We knew it seemed a little suspicious that with their gamescom update, Konami didn’t bother mentioning a release date at all for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. And now we know why… it’s officially scheduled for an early 2013 release now which will put it a little closer to the release of Lords of Shadow 2 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

So, read on for the announcement and make sure to check out the gamescom update for new media from the game. Pre-order Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate below as well.

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced that the action adventure title Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate will be available in early 2013 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS system.

“It’s been two years since the enormous success of Castlevania Lords of Shadow, and with this next installment, we want to take the necessary time needed to give fans a handheld title unlike any other,” said Dave Cox, Producer of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 and Head of Product Planning and Development for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate will bridge the storyline to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, also planned to release in 2013.  Both titles will reveal the shocking fate of the Belmont Clan in a dramatic culmination of the Lords of Shadow saga.”

Developed by Mercury Steam, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate takes place 25 years after the events of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and is a precursor to the highly anticipated and recently announced Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 for the PlayStation?3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate reveals the story of Gabriel Belmont’s descendants, Simon and Trevor Belmont, as they battle their own destiny only to discover their true, shocking fate.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate will be available on Nintendo 3DS in early 2013.
