Castlevania: Lords of Shadow TGS Screenshots

Today Konami released a set of new gameplay screenshots from this year’s Tokyo Game Show for the upcoming title, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. This highly anticipated Castlevania title is the first next-gen title from the incredibly popular series. While the gameplay might have changed the unique creatures that are found in Castlevania games remains the same with this next-gen title. Check out the new screens which display some of the enemies you’ll be facing.

In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow gamers play as Gabriel Belmont, voiced by Robert Carlyle, the hero of the game and part of the legendary Belmont clan from Castlevania lore. While demonic creatures of the night wreak havoc on the land, the souls of the dead are trapped on Earth and unable to find peace. Gabriel must track down the mysterious Lords of Shadow in order to unite the pieces of a relic called “The God Mask” that can purify the world and has the power to bring the dead back to life. Along Gabriel’s journey gamers will traverse over 50 diverse and beautifully realized 3D stages, come up against over 45 enemies, and defeat huge adversaries in real time with skill, power and timing. In total, the game boasts over 40 possible combo attacks that can be added to Gabriel’s arsenal. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow offers a wide range of puzzles with larger adversaries that require a specific means to exploit weaknesses, or object-related puzzles that will open doors or give access to previously unreachable areas.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is set to release on October 5th on PlayStation 3 and 360.
