MercurySteam comments on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate delay

Konami has sent out an official announcement regarding the delay for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. The game is now scheduled to launch in early 2013.

Producer David Cox commented on the delay, noting that the Konami and developer MercurySteam “want to take the necessary time needed to give fans a handheld title unlike any other.”

Cox said:

“It’s been two years since the enormous success of Castlevania Lords of Shadow, and with this next installment, we want to take the necessary time needed to give fans a handheld title unlike any other. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate will bridge the storyline to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, also planned to release in 2013. Both titles will reveal the shocking fate of the Belmont Clan in a dramatic culmination of the Lords of Shadow saga.”
