The next
Castlevania isn't being made by series legend Koji Igarashi -- it's coming from
Metal Gear masters Kojima Productions. The game
teased as "MASK" on the developer's E3 countdown site is, in reality,
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. A 3D actioneer reminiscent of
God of War, the game is under development at
MercurySteam Entertainment, the studio behind
American McGee's Scrapland and
Clive Barker's Jericho, with Kojima Productions ... producing it.
There's already some Hollywood talent attached, including British actor Patrick Stewart, best known for his role as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard on
Star Trek: The Next Generation. Kojima is not directly producing the game; rather, he's there to "support" MercurySteam on the game, which is slated for 2010 on PS3 and Xbox 360. Looks like Mr.
Metal Gear is wasting no time fulfilling his wish to
work with Western developers.
