Castlevania: Lords of Shadow details revealed

The classic series gets a spine-tingling reboot with emphasis on action over item-collecting.

As has been previously announced, the newest entry in the long-running Castlevania franchise is on its way, this time in HD and for next-gen consoles PlayStation 3 and Xbox360.  A recent interview with producer Dave Cox reveals that it will it be a reboot of the series because Konami is "attempting to bring the series back to the mainstream, and in order to do that we can’t simply do the same thing over and over again. The fan base for Castlevania is loyal but not limited, and we can’t make games for such a narrow audience and keep the series relevant. We have to target new players and bring new people to Castlevania. We are doing that by going back to the series’ roots as an action hack-and-slash game with platforming, some puzzle elements and a brand new story."
