There's a new Castlevania game coming up for the PS3 and Xbox 360 this year and the facts are;
It's a slight reboot
It's a third person with platform, puzzle and action elements
Interactive bosses like the ones from Shadow of Colossus
Weapons will be a pyrokenetic whip which can also be used for climbing up walls and swinging across pits, stakes, holy water and other Castlevania like weaponry
Possible enviromental damage with your weapons
Developers are distancing the game from other Castlevanias but will keep certain elements in to keep long time fans
Sir Patrick Stewart will narrate the trailer and Jason ssacs (Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter) will also star
And the plot is; The setting of Lords of Shadow is during "the end of days". The Earth's alliance with the Heavens has been threatened by a malevolent force known as the Lords of Shadow. The souls of the deceased and evil creatures inhabit the dying land, and attack living people.
The main character, Gabriel Belmont (voiced by Robert Carlyle) is a member of an elite group known as the "Brotherhood of Light". The group are holy knights who protect and defend innocent people against the supernatural creatures. Gabriel's wife Marie (voiced by Natascha McElhone was brutally murdered by one of them, and her soul has been "trapped for eternity". Because she is now neither alive nor dead, she realizes what is at stake and guides Gabriel to his destiny to save the world. He travels the destroyed land, meeting other characters such as Zobek (voiced by Sir Patrick Stewart) while searching for the three factions of the Lords of Shadow to defeat them. Two mysterious masks, the god and devil masks, lie at the centre of the plot, with the god mask having powers to resurrect the dead. Revealed characters with unknown voice actors include Claudia, The Sword Master and The Lady of the Forest.
Sounds OK to me, It sounds pretty cool and I'd like a 3 person Castlevania.
