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

[Dremn]

The project got canned.

So no MercuryVania on 3DS then? That's honestly the most disappointing piece of news I've heard all year, I've been anxiously awaiting an announcement for any Castlevania on 3DS.

Except the rerelease of The Adventure on the eShop. Ugh.

[shelverton.]

Castlevania will come to 3DS, later this year or next. I am 97.3% sure. Not made by Mercury Steam but someone else. Possibly in-house or someone else. I'm still hoping it will be WayForward but I'm not holding my breath..

[Maedhros]

No evidence of Castlevania 3DS is up. I've seriously lost all my hopes on this series... it'll continue to be westernized, and I'll stop playing.

[thernz]

The ironic terror of a franchise based in a Western setting losing its appeal when it gets westernized.

[Ahasverus]

The project got canned.

Absolute lie. They've never talked about that.

[uzo]

You must have been oddly absent when all that was discussed. Some LoS fanboy you are.

That's ok. More for me then. C:

When was it said the project was canned?

I don't think we're ever going to get Vania 3DS now, Konami is too busy milking MGS and Love Plus games to care.

[uzo]

Cox said, on twitter I believe, their 3DS project got canned by corporate Konami a while back. I'm surprised most of you guys didn't see it. Then again it was probably tucked away in the giant monolith LoS thread.

[Flame]

I dont twitter. I dont really even check other twitter pages too often.

[Nagumo]

You better not be mistaken, Uzo. I'm afraid Mercurysteam is going to take spread their malevolence to the 3DS as well.

So just heads up to everyone, the "Killer Sequel" OXM teased was Assassin's Creed III. New character, something about taking place in New York.
Just type OXM 84 into Google to get more details, because I never cared about AC.

[Thunderbrand]

Ok, this whole thread has gotten completely convoluted and confusing and frankly I'm too tired at the moment to try and make heads or tails of it. So somebody bottom line this for me (and all of us really):

Is there ANY legitimate news of an LoS sequel? Or are we still just dealing with rumors and heresay?

[crisis]

Is there ANY legitimate news of an LoS sequel?

Nothing that we don't already know.

Or are we still just dealing with rumors and heresay?

Pretty much.

[Sumac]

And I think that's cool and it's better he won't be the one explaining that any further (if there's a need for it).

Well, I personally prefer complete stories not some bit and pieces that could potentially be interesting, but never elaborate upon not because author can't do that, but because he  doesn't give a damn about it.

The disappearance of the Belmonts is all you need to know for Order of Ecclesia's story to flow along.

Wait, what?
And what about some general information why it did happen? It is very important thing to the Castlevania (old) timeline and to the OOE storyline. OOE was a perfect opportunity to finally let that cat out of bag. I mean, story was directly related to the Belmonts dissappearance and it never was properly explained why it happened in the first place. They just...dissappeared and that's it. Sorry, but it is shitty storytelling in its purest, no matter how you look at it.

And idea that you don't need to know all details in the story, works only when said details are really insiginificant. Other wise you just accept that author didn't care enough to explain important plot points and treat as it's a normal thing. For that matter Belmonts disapperance is not an insignificant detail by any margin.
