E3 2012: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate will be released in the autumn

During the 3DS press conference last night, Nintendo announced that the latest instalment in the Castlevania franchise, Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, will be available exclusively on the 3DS this autumn.

It has been confirmed that Trevor Belmont will star in this forthcoming 2.5D game from Konami, and Trevor will be ably assisted by his old ally Alucard (Grant and Sypha from Castlevania III were curiously absent).

Trevor will use his own version of Gabriel Belmont's Combat Cross to whip enemies into submission, and will also make use of Dark Magic attacks to vanquish more nettlesome foes.

In addition to the Combat Cross, Trevor will have secondary weapons like the franchise-standard boomerang and new techniques like slow-motion finishing moves at his disposal to add a bit of cinematic flair to the baddie bashing.

If you are hungry for more Belmont-style undead slaying, give this E3 trailer video of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate a watch.
