Castlevania: Lords of Shadow DLC Coming Early Next Year

[Amnestic]

Out of possible 'notorious' Castlevania enemies, you're really only looking at Death or Dracula. Maybe 'the Spirit of Chaos' as well I guess.

That?s the most likely candidate. One of the scrolls found says that the castle might be possessed by something. And if not that then Frankenstein?s Monster

Well it's not really possessed per se. Chaos is the source of all of Dracula's power, which is one of the explanations given to why Castlevania always has a different layout in every game you play. It's separate from Dracula, in so much that it still exists even after Dracula gets perma-killed in the 1999 Demon Castle War, but as demonstrated by every game up until now, it is still linked as well since Castlevania disappears everytime Dracula gets his face whipped in.

/Assuming that this game takes said canon as part of its canon. I'm all confused as to where they stand on that.

I don?t think LOS is part of the main continuity so I?m going by the info that it established which says the family who occupied the castle before Carmilla made a pact with something, which resulted in the building itself becoming possessed by it.

Gonna admit, not actually played LOS yet.

Also, since the title of the DLC is 'Resurrection' and the picture (which I'm gonna assume is relevant to the DLC) is Gabriel stood over a grave with a big cross headstone, we could guess that it might be a dead ally. A long-dead Belmont perhaps? That would be quite notorious...but also nothing terribly new for the series, since they've been fighting Belmonts since Symphony of the Night, I think.

The notorious enemy would be Alucard. I mean, come on. Just turn around at your desk and ask somebody who the famous Castlevania enemy is.

Ummm Alucard's always been a hero in Castlevania. Correct me if I'm wrong of course, but he was one of the four main characters in 3, and was the main character in Symphony of the Night.

Lords of Shadow is amazing by the way. If you haven't played it check it out.

He was an enemy in III (where you could control him if you beat him) and Legends, but you're right, he was a protagonist in Symphony of Night. My bad.

Alucard only fought Trevor to test his strength, because he needed a powerful ally to challenge his father.

[My post contains Spoilers]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well I'm pretty glad this one is coming The evil in the castle could be a risen Victor Frankenstein since Queen Carmilla was keeping him under check via torture and then killed him... And to be honest I could fight me some frankenmonsters.

And as for the classic enemy, it could be Alucard and you play with Gabriel now in present Dracul or maybe Satan again or Death in a final Rival showdown...

But to be honest I hope they don't go the way of Prince of Persia 2008 and use the DLC as sequel/closure
I need me a sequel/trilogy with this new castlevania... Love it. Oh and if you could, bring back the Throwing Cross (boomerang cross).

Well being the fact this reboot is the new cannon. It certainly could be anything. They certainly could have Alucard with a differant background who isnt Draculas son. etc
