Castlevania: Lords of Shadow release date announced

Konami just revealed that Castlevania: Lords of Shadow will be released on October 5th for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

In related news, 1up.com learned that the game will be getting 2 DLC packs.

At Konami's press conference yesterday, Dave revealed that two DLC packs for the game are planned. I asked him to elaborate on this a bit, and while he couldn't say much yet, he did say that they will both feature new areas and new enemies; it sounds as if they'll be more of side-quests for the main game. "I don't want to give people the wrong impression -- the core game absolutely has an ending," he stressed. "The first first DLC pack probably won't be as large as the second one, though, just because we'll be working on that one right away."
