At San Diego Comic-Con, we had an opportunity to sample the most recent Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 build. We also had a possibility to talk with David Cox, producer at the game, and Robert Carlysle, the voice of Dracula. Today, we’ve learned on thing more.

In a talk with Destructoid, Cox indicated that Lords of Shadow 2 could be the final Castlevania from MercurySteam. The studio was on board for 2 console games and the 3DS Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate.

“So we’ve told Japan headquarters that it truly is the last one for us… there’s nothing worse than when somebody’s got something to mention, and when they’ve said it, they simply keep talking,” Cox said. If the previews are any indication, MercurySteam might be leaving the franchise on a high note. We’ll know for certain later this year.

Our Take
I thoroughly enjoyed Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and that i thought the ending and narrative elements of the DLC (if not the gameplay) were quite interesting. We’ve been fighting Dracula for therefore long, that obtaining a higher understanding of him can only enrich the remainder of the franchise (both past and future). Should Lords of Shadow 2 live as much as our expectations, MercurySteam will prove itself some of the few developers that knows when to forestall talking.
