Castlevania LOS 2 revealed

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 has been announced at Konami's Pre-E3 Showcase, via a reveal trailer.

The moody CG trailer features the protagonist from Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Gabriel Belmont, taking on an enormous army against the backdrop of a Gothic cathedral. At one point, Gabriel gains supernatural powers from an unwitting soldier, turning himself into a bat-like creature made of smoke. The trailer ends with the introduction of a new character, who bears a strong resemblance to Castlevania regular, Alucard.

Host Geoff Keighley said that Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will be released in 2013, with more to share later this year. The original Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was released in late 2010.
