I’ve got some bad news for the Castlevania fans. The release for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate has been pushed back. The highly awaited 3DS game was originally set to come out this fall, but not it has been pushed back to some time in 2013. Lame!
According to the press release:
“Konami’s resurrection of the Castlevania series continues, as the breath-taking Castlevania: Lords of Shadows series heads to Nintendo 3DS in 2013 with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. Developed by Mercury Steam and acting as a prequel to the forthcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, the Nintendo 3DS game follows Trevor and Simon Belmont as they enter the shadow-laden castle of series villain, Dracula.”
There are no details on why the release date has been changed, but the sad fact is that it has been. I’m guessing they are simply working on perfecting the game, which is usually the case with delays.
Check out the game details and trailer below:
