I gave Mercurysteam’s Castlevania: Lords of Shadow full marks when I reviewed it last year– and I’m a die hard Castlevania fan. I liked that it sloughed off some of the stagnant tenets of the franchise and went for a much more European dark fantasy setting with Gothic horror trappings instead of the anime direction the games have been heading in over the past several years. And man, that ending. Anyway if, like Depeche Mode, you just can’t get enough then Konami is dropping the “Reverie” DLC on the 30th. It sounds pretty good, almost like a mini-sequel to the game’s best segment. Hey, press agency, what do you have to say about it?
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH today announced it will release the Reverie DLC pack for its acclaimed Castlevania: Lords of Shadow title on March 30th. The publisher has also released a trailer, showcasing the DLC’s new content.The download content will be available from PlayStation®Network and Xbox LIVE® Arcade , and costs 7,99 Euros/£6.39 for the PlayStation®3 version, and 800 MS Points for the Xbox 360 code. Reverie is the first of two planned DLC packs for the game, and marks a return to the game’s climactic castle setting as Gabriel seeks to assist the recently-slain vampire Queen’s hand maiden. The download spans three stages, and offers a breath-taking twist to the game’s plot – and will segue into the next DLC pack’s stunning conclusion…
Mike needs to learn Bill’s fine art of PR strikethrough the hyperbole.
Hey, that plot twist might be breath-taking. I don’t know.
Haha, well, the original ending was, so maybe they’ve pulled it off again! Can’t wait for this – I loved, loved, loved LoS – best 3D Castlevania ever by a country mile!
