Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (キャッスルヴァニア ロード オブ シャドウ Kyassuruvu~ania 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.
