MercurySteam intends to move on after Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

Studio doesn't want to be known as "the Castlevania team"

MercurySteam has said it intends to stop developing Castlevania titles following the launch of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.

Producer David Cox explained that the studio wishes to leave the series by delivering a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy via the sequel.

"Our intention is to tell our story and then move on to other things. We have a very interesting tale to tell – a story about Dracula. Our intention was to tackle the story from his perspective and give players an angle on his viewpoint.

"We have no intention of milking the series any further than that. I believe that any story worth telling should have a satisfying ending. This one has exactly that, and once its told I hope our audience will enjoy the saga as a unique and interesting take on the Castlevania mythology."

Cox had previously stated that MercurySteam did not want to be known solely as "the Castlevania team", with the developer keen on other "projects and other ideas".

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, meanwhile, launches during 2013.

Trilogy? It's only 2 on console!!!

Unless, of course, you count the upcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: 'Mirror of Fate' on 3DS!! Alucard is in it, Can't wait

I'm a big fan of Castlevania games since it was released on Famicom!

Yes, Lords of Shadow was the BEST 'Castlevania' game on CONSOLE since 'Symphony of the Night' on PS One! (Of course Symphony of the Night had it own weaknesses, the re-using of the whole castle in an upside down format near the end! Lazy developers?).

For No. 2, I want a balanced amount of puzzles and actions, just like in Uncharted Saga...For instance, I want less puzzle solvings...For instance, in the first one, "how dangerous the music box is?" Stupid Music Box & Baba Yaga

All in all, I've a high hope in the ability of MercurySteam to deliver a satisfying sequel/conclusion to the Belmont's Dracula Saga!...Plus, Patrick Stewart's narrative was astounding, I want the same again!....Roll on 2013!

P.S. I guess the next move of MercurySteam will be long-awaited 'CONTRAAAAAAA'
