Nintendo was previously rumored (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/21/rumor-new-3ds-castlevania-to-debut-at-e3/) to announce a new Castlevania title at E3 next week, but the June 2012 issue of Nintendo Power proved the might of print and outed the title in a cover story.

Details as divulged by GoNintendo (http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=178092) read as follows: The story involves Trevor Belmont and he fights mainly with a Combat Cross; secondary weapons include a boomerang-like glaive and an electric bomb; the game has light and shadow magic.

In an ultra-exclusive, super-surprising reveal, Nintendo Power says Mirror of Fate will also include skeletons, it appears.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate whips onto 3DS (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/29/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-mirror-of-fate-whips-onto-3ds/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Tue, 29 May 2012 14:00:00 EST.

Glad they're keeping the Lords of Shadow name for all games based on this universe. Lords of Shadow 2 for the PS360, Wii U, and Vita. Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate for the 3DS. It atleast differentiates the Lords of Shadow reboot from the original Castlevania universe. Mercury Steam so far did an amazing job on the first Lords of Shadow so I'm interested in seeing their next two games.

So Trevor is on the 3DS game. Here's hoping that either Christopher or Simon are on the console release.

*edit*


You’ll start out playing as Trevor Belmont, but at some point in the game, Simon Belmont will become a playable character as well. Two other characters have been hinted at but have not been named yet. You switch between the four characters at predetermined points in the game, as you work your way through Dracula’s castle during different time periods.

Each character will have unique abilities. For example, one may have a double-jump while another may not. More specifically, Trevor can use light and shadow magic, while Simon has different sub-weapons and can summon mystical guardians to fight for him or protect him from harm.

The Castlevania fan in me thinks this is the most stupid shit ever.

Skeletons? Pfft, Castlevania was better back when it didn't have skeletons.
