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.”

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s Jim Ryan feels that the 3DS and Vita are “very different propositions”. At the same time, however, Ryan said that the two portables could see “some collision” as Vita starts to “skew to a younger demographic”.
Ryan told CVG:
“I think the gaming offerings [of 3DS and Vita] are so different right now that I think there’s plenty of space for both systems to live side by side quite happily. …I think over time that the PlayStation Vita will – like all consoles to – skew to a younger demographic, so there will be some collision there.”
Ryan also noted that Nintendo “is always a competitor”.
