Topic: Lords of Shadow sequel is coming out this year, hinted by David Cox over twitter

[Dremn]

GAF says it's likely an Xbox exclusive, so it's probably not Castlevania. A few of them seems to think it could be Perfect Dark.

[Nagumo]

Some suggest it might also be Killer Instinct 3.

Lords of Shadow is nothing but a Lord of the Rings spinoff.

0/10 would not read again

Let's start our official checklists:

-Belmont clan/protagonist
-Pot roast
-candles/torches for whipping
-more Castlevania esque soundtrack
-lots of platforming
-medusa heads
-Dracula

Sequel needs these.

What if they pull a next gen Dracula's Curse and give us more than 1 playable character?

As long as they give it a more gothic atmosphere/environment, and a larger assortment of music than LoS, im good with whats there.

Some suggest it might also be Killer Instinct 3.

That would be quite interesting, and it would finally give Microsoft their own fighting IP.

[Ahasverus]

Even if it's not related to the OXM reveal, Cox hints are strong, abd what about the journalist? Simply, there is NO OTHER active Spanish studio, even if it's not CV, he's surely talking about MercurySteam.

And they are making CV sequel so yeah!

Some suggest it might also be Killer Instinct 3.

Cinder's double combo-breaker


It must be said.

Cox did say he would be at GDC too. I don't think it would be unreasonable to expect a reveal then at the show.

Your originality astounds me.

Don't get your hopes up for any of these.

Gotta tell I'd love that. More than a LoS sequel. A lot more, actually.

"ULTRA! ULTRA! ULTRA! ULTRA!.."

[Kingshango]

Don't get your hopes up for any of these.

Well at least Dracula showing up is a given since he now exist's, weather he's a main antagonist or a playable villain protagonist is anybody's guess.

I wouldn't get my hopes up about the other things though.

[Munchy]

Cox seemed very adamant on the first game going back to the "lone warrior battling supernatural shit with a whip" so I'm pretty sure the next one would follow suit at least in that regard. I suppose we shouldn't forget that there are good CVs without Belmont protagonists, but the whip stuff was what made the combat so cool in LoS. I really, really hope they keep that element rather than yet another swords/spears/axes/whatever guy.

The other stuff on the list though, nah probably not. Except maybe the platforming, but MS's definition of that term is starkly different from mine, sooooo yeah.

They should call it Lords of Shadow 2: The Squeakquel

-Pot roast
-candles/torches for whipping

Sequel needs these.

1- HELL NO
2- We already had them, did no one of you whip the candles at the Castle?

[Lumi Kløvstad]

did no one of you whip the candles at the Castle?

I was just noticing that a few hours ago.
