Two DLC packs coming to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow photo

Today Konami has revealed details on two downloadable content packs coming to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, which are expected to launch in early 2011.

The first is "Reverie," which has players returning to the castle to help an ex-servant of Queen of the Vampires, Carmilla, Laura. It seems that when (spoiler!) the Queen was slain, an evil was unleashed… it's your job to take care of that, of course.

"Resurrection" is the second pack, and is said to be the larger of the two add-ons. It will take place immediately after the end of the disc's narrative, giving "some insight into the dramatic epilogue seen by players upon completion of the game." Konami adds that it will feature a "final showdown with a very notorious enemy."

No word on pricing or release timing outside of that "early 2011" I mentioned earlier. Who's ready to slay some more monsters?

Excellent. Just beat this game the other day and couldn't wait to see what was in store for the future. Be it dlc or a sequel. Very excited for this after watching the epilogue.

I've never played the game, but I'm just gonna throw out a guess: Death.

Which pack fixes the camera and makes combat fun? Cause I'd pick that up.

ugh i need to finish this as well. just got to a point where no matter what i did the combat was ridiculously hard. maybe its because im fighting 4 skeletons along with a bunch of armor guys. have every move, non seem to do enough damage. in a tiny room. ugh.

The ending is so sick, my guess is they decided to make the latter DLC based off fan feedback.

That "notorious enemy" better be Dr. Acula.

This seems like a more reasonable way to do DLC. I'm interested in the "Epilogue" DLC, not so much the Laura DLC. We'll see as more details come to light.

I doubt I'll be getting this DLC, but nice to know about it. If the notorious enemy is Solid Snake or someone like Django from Boktai, I may be interested...greatly!

Hmmm... I'm kind of torn on this game. On the one hand, I love Castlevania and they got a lot of the look and feel right and combat is fairly satisfying. On the other hand there was some stuff that I felt totally missed the mark and I came away kind of disappointed on the whole.

I might pick Resurrection up, but just 'cause I'm a CV whore... After beating the game I had little to no intention of playing it again so they'll have to make it good if they want my money. :)

Using your items? Some of the item special effects are super effective, like the Holy Water shield. Also fairy crowd control

I'll gladly play more of this game. I nerded out on the combat system, and I really enjoy it, despite the grueling, endurance test boss battles.

Despite being a castlevania fan, I went into this game with no preconceptions, and I absolutely loved it. It reminds me of Pre-symphony castlevania. The game is great, and unfortunately gets alot of unfounded fanboy hate, but what do you expect. Weeaboos are the worst fanboys you could deal with.

I'll definitely be sure to pick these expansions up. This game was epic and huge on its own, so this will ACTUALLY feel like DLC, and not withheld gameplay released for an extra buck.

Cool. I had a lot of fun with this game, so if the DLC is well made, I'll definitely pick it up.

Did you guys really spoil the ending of this game so obiously at the beginning of the post?

That sucks :(

I hate it when a developer actually manages to create a memorable ending in their game, then hears the fans love it and decide to "expand" upon it. A good ending is a work of art in itself, you don't go back and paint over it after the fact.

I'm pretty confident they were planning on expanding the ending anyway. The ending was amazing but was a complete mystery. They had to reveal it at some point whether it was DLC or a direct sequel.

Funny, I just started playing this yesterday. It's ok so far. Nothing special or amazing. Oh, and so far, fuck that Ice Titan. SO annoying.

Meh. I'm about halfway into the second disc, but it's getting so dull I can hardly stand it. If they take whatever they were going to ask for the DLC and cut it in half, I'll consider it.
