The latest issue of Nintendo Power has confirmed not one, but two Castlevania games. Along with Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate, MercurySteam is working on Lords of Shadow 2.
Nintendo Power’s article doesn’t actually say anything about the title. However, producer David Cox says that that Mirror of Fate contains a “climax that will set up the events of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.”
Platforms weren’t confirmed, but it’s definitely going to be available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. There have been rumblings of a Wii U version as well.
It’d make perfect sense to bring the game to Nintendo’s new console. As some fans have suggested, Mirrors of Fate could act as a companion title to Lords of Shadows 2 on Wii U, perhaps introducing some connectivity between the two games.
Look forward to official announcements for Mirror of Fate and Lords of Shadow 2 Thursday night during Konami’s pre-E3 show.

Despite our initial hopes, Famitsu doesn’t have any details on Shin Megami Tensei IV this week beyond the initial announcement. There doesn’t appear to be any gameplay information or screenshots.
The only item included in Famitsu this week is the ad shown above. It shows a bit of art, but that’s about it.
Atlus will be opening an official site for the game tomorrow. It’s possible that we’ll receive another update then, but the company may wait for another day for a full unveiling.
Unchained Blades will be getting a sequel, the latest issue of Famitsu has revealed.
Developer Furyu is making “UnchainBlades Exiv” (rough translation) for the 3DS and PSP, just like the original.
Nobuo Uematsu is composing the title’s theme song. Uematsu’s music group (music), Takashi Hino (scenario) and Toshio Akashi (event direction) are contributing to the project. Yusuke Kozaki, Suzuhito Yasuda, and Kei are involved with character designs.
UnchainBlades Exiv launches in Japan on October 18. The first game will be arriving in North America before the end of spring as a digital download.
Thanks to 4Him for the tip.
Medabots was one of the earlier games announced for the 3DS. Even so, we haven’t seen many details or any screenshots since its initial confirmation.
Surprisingly, the 3DS title is on track for a September 13 launch in Japan. This week’s issue of Famitsu states that two versions of Medabots 7 are on the way.
More details may leak out of the magazine sometime within the next few hours.
The next entry in the Shin Megami Tensei series has been announced in the latest issue of Famitsu. Usual magazine leaker Sinobi states that Atlus is readying an official site for the new 3DS title Shin Megami Tensei IV. It’ll be launching at megaten4.jp tomorrow.
Famitsu news generally leaks out over time, so this is just the initial announcement. We’ll be receiving details and scans soon, most likely.
