Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (キャッスルヴァニア ロード オブ シャドウ Kyassuruvania Rōdo obu Shadō?) is the first Castlevania game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It was developed by MercurySteam and published by Konami. Hideo Kojima, who produced the Metal Gear series, worked as an advisor for the Japanese version, taking the Castlevania series into a new horizon according to the E3 press conference. The game is a self-contained reboot of the series, and thus not canon to the previous games. The game follows the epic quest of Gabriel Belmont, who seeks revenge against the murderer of his wife, and his battle against the mysterious Lords of Shadow who drive the world into darkness. In December 2010, Konami announced two DLC packs for the game in order to continue the story: Reverie (March 2011) and Resurrection (June 2011). On June 5, 2013, the game was announced to be re-released on PC during August 2013 as an Ultimate Edition, including Reverie and Resurrection. A collection edition was released on October 31, 2013 which includes Lords of Shadow, all its DLCs, Mirror of Fate HD and a playable demo for Lords of Shadow 2. Plot: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow takes place at the end of days. The Earth's alliance with the Heavens has been threatened by a dark and malevolent force - the mysterious Lords of Shadow - and darkness reigns the world. Across this shattered land, the souls of the dead wander unable to find peace, whilst creatures of evil roam free wreaking chaos and death upon the living. Gabriel Belmont is a member of the Brotherhood of Light, an elite group of holy knights who protect and defend the innocent against the supernatural. His beloved wife was brutally murdered by the evil forces of darkness and her soul trapped for eternity. Neither living nor dead she realizes the horrific truth of what is at stake and guides Gabriel to his destiny - and hopefully salvation for the world... but at what cost? Thus, Gabriel must travel the destroyed world, defeating the evil tyrants in order to use their powers to bring balance back to the world. Armed with the versatile Combat Cross - the world's last hope must encounter the three factions of the Lords of Shadow and end their unholy rule.
