That's pretty awesome actually, out of Castlevania and into Hell itself.

[Kingshango]

The trailers make sense now.  That makes Zobek's role in the game highly suspect, but again, that isn't new news isn't it?

Guess we know who that guy was in the robe in the new gameplay trailer is then.

and btw I CALLED IT!

Pretty much. The guide dosent say how you end up there though. After you clear the castle (It's Carmilla's castle by the way and she's in the Throne Room), you go through another forest, some haunted farmland, a big puzzle area, a Titan Graveyard (exactly how it sounds...dead Titans everywhere...pretty wicked) and then a Fire Graveyard, Crematory, and then basically you're in Hell.

I had a feeling it was Carmilla's. So the real Castlevania isn't in this game. Interesting.

I have a feeling there is going to be a sequel to this game, but I'm not sure if it will star Gabe again. Maybe his next of kin.

I guess that's similar to how Soma leaves Celia's castle to travel into The Abyss

The guy in the robe is the Lord of the Dead. You don't fight him but there's probably some interaction with him somewhere. I'd guess during the ending cinematic. Zobek is a good guy who helps you through a lot of levels but he's been manipulated by the Lord of the Dead and Satan, perhaps without knowing it. The guide dosen't say what happens to him at the end.

[Thunderbrand]

The names of the individual levels are very cool. I'd be happy to list them if anyone wants...

[Dremn]

Go right ahead.

[crisis]

Thunderbrand, you already opened Pandora's Box... might as well list everything you can.

My guess, Lord of the dead usurp's Satan's throne after Gabriel beats him and becomes the new lord of evil.

Sounding a little Lament of Innocence there.

That would make sense. I was thinking after Satan is defeated his essence is transferred into the Lord of the Dead or someone else and they become Dracula.

-46 levels in the game, but Cox has said there's over 50 so maybe we can expect 4 or more complete levels in the DLC? I dunno...

WOW. Lots of hints and nods to older Castlevania games. Wygol Village is directly from OoE, and the Castle Sewers up to the maze reminds me of Castlevania 64.

Yep, also with the Maze Garden and lots of giant spiders in the sewers/tunnels. Plenty of N64 references there.

Well. I have no idea what to ask next, fantastic thread though. This game sounds pretty incredible.
