Lords of Shadow DLC trailer reveals Alucard in action

Have a look at Trevor Belmont/Alucard as his part in the opening of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is revealed. And then stick around to see him kick some monsters back into the shadows.

There have been few heroes in the Castlevania pantheon that have caught on as much as Alucard has. Even with his altered origin story in the Lords of Shadow universe, Dracula’s son looms large in a game that you can’t even control him in. Well, till now anyway.

The Revelations DLC is all about the good guy vamp and his part in actually getting the events of the main game started. Hunting the creatures of the night (such beautiful music they make), Alucard has stayed away from mankind in the time between his father’s fall in Mirror of Fate and the opening of Lords of Shadow 2. Revelations is how he steps back into the spotlight.

The new trailer shows the many moves and skills that Alucard offers, and gives a glimpse into the new locations and story ‘Revelations’ adds. ‘Revelations’ takes place within the epic world seen in CASTLEVANIA: LORDS OF SHADOW 2. Playing as Alucard, gamers must discover the legendary vampire’s secrets, unearth the true extent of his involvement in Dracula’s story, and set in motion the events of CASTLEVANIA: LORDS OF SHADOW 2. The DLC expands the incredible story of the recently-released sequel, with the fate of the Belmont clan unveiled. Alucard has his own unique, powerful abilities, including use of the Glaciem and Igneas powers, in addition to vampiric abilities which allow him to transform into a wolf, a swarm of bats and even turn back time. Blood also fuels capabilities, as drinking the blood of enemies intensifies Alucard’s immortal powers.

Revelations will be available to add onto your copy of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 on March 25th, it’ll cost you $7.99 USD for the Xbox 360, PS3, or PC edition.
