First Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 image arrives by stealth

"Gameplay screenshot" snapped on monitor

Ready your salt-pinching fingers, possums - somebody's got hold of an allegedly in-game shot of Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2. Which looks suspiciously like concept art to me, but what the hell do I know? I only completed the original Lords of Shadow last week.

Visible in the shot is a man with a sword. There's every chance this could be Alucard, Gabriel Belmont's son, who makes an appearance towards the end of the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 debut trailer. Which is awesome, and deserves another watch.

There are six things we want from Lords of Shadow 2. They're listed in no particular order, but if I had to pick one, I'd go with giving the dialogue a haircut. Patrick Stewart sure can preach.

Cheers, AGB.

  1. Recently finished playing the first. Can't say I was blown away by it. It look fantastic and can't really criticise the gameplay. It just didn't drag me in. Especially the first few hours. I just couldn't get into it. I actually felt it went on a bit too long. As that sort of action adventure game goes on Xbox 360 I think I preferred Enslaved.

    I did look fantastic though even if the game is a bit old now. Do you know if the game directly carries on from the last as at the end they seem to be in modern day New York?

  2. I have to disagree i thought the game was epic. i admit the first hour or two was a little slow but i found that it really picked up after that

  3. Catlevania LoS was only narrowly edged out by Alan Wake as my game of 2010. Sure the DLC was overpriced and a bit s***, but it's still a fantastic game.

  4. It's all about getting past the bloody swamp and meeting your first Titan.

  5. 1st one was superb, ill be on this when it comes out, these kind of games scratch my old school gamer itch....

  6. Have not finished the old one yet i got to the sewers underneath the castle so will need to get back on it and try and finish it! But with the new minecraft update, dishounored, xcom, borderlands 2 and other superb arcade games i have downloaded i do not how i will find the time!
