[JBoc973]

Hey guys it's me from RelyonHorror again, bringing you a nice scoop.

http://www.relyonhorror.com/latest-news/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-dlc-new-storylinescharactersand-environments/

At least we know what to expect when the DLC hits.

[Reinhart77]

i guess finding out what new characters will be offered is something i don't mind getting spoiled.  but that article didn't say anything about who it might be...

[Sir Hanksta]

Cox quoted as saying DLC will pick up where LOS left off.

that sounds like HORRIBLE news considering that apparently we will be playing in modern times as Dracula

Wouldn't it be rather preferrable at this point to have this as DLC content instead of a full fledged game?

Besides, it wouldn't be the first time we play in modern (or even futuristic) times as Dracula, would it    ?

[ZenTzen]

but where will it pick up? before credits ending or after credits ending?

i guess you are refering to Soma Cruz's role in AOS and DOS?
if so even i must point out that even tho those games took place in the future mostly EVERYTHING that was in the castle wasn't modern at all.
infact
i think the only modern thing i can think of is in DOS when you see cars in the snowy village.
but apparently judgeing by the ending this is in a huge new york like city.
all these things coupled with the fact that it is a CV game makes me dislike this idea since CV has never taken place in modern citylike enviroments and really should not

[whitedragon_nall]

I'm not liking the idea of a modern-vania either. It never bothered me in AoS or DoS because, like DarkPrinceAlucard stated, there wasn't much of anything modern in them.

That is assuming the dlc takes place in modern times.

[Alutwon]

We know when it takes place but the big question now is where. The reason I think Gabriel was hiding in what seems to be NY was because there is nothing there to bother him magic and Belmont wise. It wouldn't really bother me all that much if the first level took place in NYC as long as the first level was like the one in LoS. Say one of satan's priests tries to kill you or something.

[uzo]

Just to verify, Cox did say something like a discount or free download of DLC for those who got the Limited Edition, correct?

And you think fans are raging now...

[REmaster]

I'd be willing to bet the DLC will take place at the end of the actual game

when Gabriel falls to his knees, etc. There's over a thousand year gap between the credits, so I'd say they will explain that a bit more, perhaps showing Gabriel's anger at god and leading to his transformation. I have a feeling we'll see Rinaldo at some point because of those scrolls mentioning he's alive, kind of interested to see what he looks like this time around.

[OmegaDL50]

There is no confirmation that said DLC even takes place during the Epilogue.

Consider that Lords of Shadow during the game itself takes place in the year 1047 or something. For all we know said DLC could take place PRIOR to that Epilogue, building up events slowly to reach that point.

Nearly 900 years is a very, very long time for be explored.

Take example of GTA4 Episodic DLC while based on the same game engine are essentially self contained stories with new characters that expand on the existing universe.

Castlevania : Lords of Shadow could as well also have Episodes filled with original content and new story segments that could fill in the gaps for those period of 900 years or so.

For example the game could go into events just after the final battle

when Gabriel starts to slowly transform and eventually become Dracula

[Alutwon]

And you think fans are raging now...

Eh, some fans are but can't please everyone. It wouldn't be that bad, like I said if they were to do anything it would only be a quick boss battle like the warg.

@OmegaDL50
Wouldn't is be cool if they started expanding upon the story of another brotherhood knight named simon?

[Vampire Killer]

As much as I love LoS, if the DLC took place in a modern city I might just have to choke a bitch.
