It’s official, the complete story of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will be told with the release of its upcoming DLC titled, “Revelations.” It’s set to be released on March 25th across all of the game’s compatible platforms.
“Revelations” serves as a prequel to Lords of Shadow 2, following Alucard as he sets the events of the main game into motion, preparing for the resurrection of his father and the inevitable return of Satan. Judging by the information and images provided below, this DLC looks to be set mostly in the castle. Which is a very good thing since that was the main game’s most beautiful and atmospheric setting. Players will also get to enjoy some new abilities when they play as Alucard, which will definitely please all those Symphony of the Night fans out there.
Alucard can turn into a swarm of bats (no rats!) and the cute wolf we saw in the main story. He can also turn back time which I hope leads to some really unique combat scenarios. Aside from this, Alucard has his own versions of Gabriel’s Light and Dark magic powers in the form of Glaciem and Igneas.
Lords of Shadow 2’s ending felt like it was missing something, so hopefully “Revelations” adds something more to the end of what has been an epic and tragic saga. Give us one last crazy epilogue!
You can check out images from the DLC and the official press release below.
Entitled ‘Revelations’, the new content will be released on March 25th and follows fan-favourite Alucard, as exclusive new branches of the immersive storyline are uncovered. The legendary vampire, Alucard, the turned son of Gabriel, has shunned human life for many years, instead choosing to hunt only creatures of the night. The DLC takes place just before the apocalyptic events of CASTLEVANIA: LORDS OF SHADOW 2, where Alucard readies for his father’s return and the forthcoming battle against Satan. As the plot unfolds it begins to reveal how the lone vampire is inextricably linked to his Father’s fate.
‘Revelations’ takes place within the epic world seen in CASTLEVANIA: LORDS OF SHADOW 2. As the vampire warrior Alucard, players must discover his secrets, unearth the true extent of his involvement in Dracula’s story and set in motion the events of CASTLEVANIA: LORDS OF SHADOW 2. The DLC expands the incredible story of the recently-released sequel, with the fate of the Belmont clan unveiled. Alucard has his own unique, powerful abilities, including use of the Glaciem and Igneas powers. Similarly, Alucard also has vampiric abilities which allow him to transform into a wolf, a swarm of bats and even turn back time! Blood fuels your capabilities, drink the blood of your enemies to intensify your immortal powers.
CASTLEVANIA: LORDS OF SHADOW 2 is currently available on PlayStation®3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC. Its sumptuous 3D world and epic quest are now enhanced and extended with all-new locations and the chance to experience familiar ones through new eyes via the ‘Revelations’ DLC, as the story of the Belmonts is brought to its full conclusion.
