‘Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow – Mirror Of Fate’ Will Miss 2012 Release Window

Those who are salavating for their next DS Castlevania title or are anxious to dive back in to the Lords of Shadow universe will have to wait a little longer.

Konami commented to Game Informer that the upcoming 2D platformer is being pushed back from its original fall 2012 release window to early 2013. No reason was given, but the game seemed to be shaping up nicely at E3, so a little extra time couldn’t hurt.

Once a staple of the DS lineup, a Castlevania game hasn’t been released for the portable since 2008’s Order of Ecclesia. While I personally wasn’t a big fan of Lords of Shadow, going back to the Metroidvania style of play peaks my interest. And I can’t lie, playing as Alucard and the Belmonts again is always an exciting thought.

Check back for updates for both Mirror of Fate and Lords of Shadow 2 as they become available.
