[Kingshango]

anyone else hyped over Undertaker/Dracula?

So im not the only one who thought Dracula looked like The Undertaker, especially his "Ministry of Darkness" look.

He looks great though, so hyped (and somewhat afraid ) to fight him.

Did someone noticed.. there was NOT a KojiPro logo?

They don't need it anymore.

Man are we really gonna be playing as Gabriel AND Alucard? How is this gonna work?

[GuyStarwind]

Here's an idea.

Maybe Trevor will be part vampire in MoF and at the end he gets split into two people by the mirror or something. Thus having his vampire side being Alucard and Trevor keeping the human side and continuing the Belmont name.

[Kingshango]

Call me crazy but I don't think we'll be playing as Gabriel this time seeing that he's pretty much overpowered (understatement) my guess is that Alucard will be the hero.

And I don't think Trevor and Alucard are one in the same, wasn't that debunked by our "insider"?

[Lords of Shitow]

this is how i think the timeline will work out:
1. gabriel becomes a vampire post-LOS DLC
2. trevor is raised by the order and his identity is kept secret from gabriel, as is gabriel's from him
3. gabriel occupies bernhard castle and begins to gain a reputation as "the dragon," dracul
4. trevor is trained by the order with the ultimate goal of defeating dracul
5. trevor fathers a child at some point, thus continuing the belmont line
6. trevor invades the castle in MOF, fights dracul, discovers he's actually his father, and is turned
7. knowing that he's "the son of the dragon," dracula, he mirrors his name in protest and becomes alucard
8. dracul continues his reign of terror, but alucard returns in LOS2 to try and take him down again
9. the belmont line continues through trevor's offspring, eventually giving birth to simon
10. in the distant future, weary of centuries of fighting his descendents, dracul enters into a final battle with the newly-resurrected satan (LOS3?)

Nope. Simon = Alucard was debunked.

This is it. But based on this trailer and MoF info alone, now I want to have a LoS 3..4..5...6.... N-->Infinity

[meanguyjones]

thedragonreturns.com has finally been opened, check it out

Looks like LoS2 is the last game, according to the site.

The idea sounds great on paper, but what made Alucard a good guy was his human side. A "Trevor's Darkness" Alucard would just be evil Trevor.

In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, the origin of Dracula and his legendary connection with the Belmonts was revealed. In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, fans can expect thrilling new twists and challenges. In this shocking conclusion to the Lords of Shadow saga, Dracula returns once again, weakened and yearning for release from his immortal bonds. Facing a new and powerful threat, the vampire lord must reacquire his old powers – and only his castle holds the key. However, the famed Belmont clan also seek his ultimate destruction.

We are playing as Dracula.

In this shocking conclusion to the Lords of Shadow saga

WHAT

[Mr.Bushido]

in the game site they talk about the "shocking conclusion" so this might be the last game in this universe

[GuyStarwind]

Ok they say "shocking conclusion" Is this suppose to be last game? Or maybe just the last LoS title aka we won't get LoS3,4,5,etc. Also it says the famed Belmont clan seek for his destruction. Do you think there will be runins with a Belmont throughout the game?

[Ahasverus]

I think it means this is the last "Dracula Rises" game. So ending the LoS saga

Dracula returns once again, weakened and yearning for release from his immortal bonds. Facing a new and powerful threat, the vampire lord must reacquire his old powers – and only his castle holds the key. However, the famed Belmont clan also seek his ultimate destruction.

I think this means there IS some playing in modern times.
The Dracula in the trailer didn't look weakened norold nor yearning for anything.

[Dremn]

I'm actually a little disappointed this will be the end of the LoS saga. That trailer just raised so many questions and possibilities.
