Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2: Alucard to star in "extensive new DLC" pack, dubbed 'Revelations'

Konami has announced details of its upcoming extensive new DLC for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.

Entitled ‘Revelations’, the new content will be released on March 25th for Xbox Live Games on Demand and PlayStation Network, and follows fan-favorite Alucard as exclusive new branches of the storyline are uncovered. Alucard, the turned son of Gabriel, has shunned human life for many years, choosing to hunt only creatures of the night. The DLC takes place just before the apocalyptic events of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, where Alucard readies for his father’s return and the forthcoming battle against Satan. As the plot unfolds, it begins to reveal how the lone vampire is inextricably linked to his father’s fate.

Revelations takes place within the world seen in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Playing as Alucard, gamers must discover the legendary vampire’s secrets, unearth the true extent of his involvement in Dracula’s story, and set in motion the events of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. The DLC expands the story of the recently-released sequel, with the fate of the Belmont clan unveiled. Alucard has his own unique, powerful abilities, including use of the Glaciem and Igneas powers, in addition to vampiric abilities which allow him to transform into a wolf, a swarm of bats and even turn back time. Blood also fuels capabilities, as drinking the blood of enemies will intensify immortal powers.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is available now on Xbox 360, Xbox Live Games on Demand, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Network, and Steam for PC. The Revelations DLC will be available on March 25th for Xbox Live Games on Demand and PlayStation Network.
