Castlevania: Lords of Shadow whipping up Oct. 7 EU release date, Oct. 8 in UK

by Ben Gilbert on Aug 18th 2010 5:20PM

During a Konami press conference at Gamescom, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow producer David Cox took to the mic to announce European and UK release dates for the forthcoming game: October 7 in Europe and October 8 in the UK. Furthermore, Konami UK rep Richie Churchill revealed via his Twitter account that the game will be getting a distinct collector's edition for (at very least) the UK, featuring the game's original soundtrack and a "replica God Mask in awesome packaging."

Wait a minute -- why don't we get a God Mask?! Anyway, given the way European and UK releases work, it's fair to guess that Lords of Shadow will land stateside on October 5 (as compared to the Halloween release date Amazon gave it), sans God Mask. That's exciting enough, we guess.

October, eh? Hopefully theres a demo for this coming..

It's coming with a mask that looks like Hideo Kojima's face?

I can't wait for this game either lol ive been looking forward to a really good castlevania game for a long time. I will be getting the limited edition from gamestop on october 5th

I don't see why they still haven't announce a North American date. Less than two months from release and a solid date still hasn't been announced.

I hope it's Oct. 5 as you guys said, but that's still just speculation.

I'm hoping this one's good. Haven't played a good Castlevania since SoTN.

@Tiptup300

Then I'm guessing you haven't played a Castlevania game since SoTN

@Grey

I really don't like playing handheld systems.

and when for north america?

@lessthankris

jking i cant read apparently

@lessthankris

It's not been announced yet.

What's exciting to me about this game is the idea that while I truly plan on checking it out, I bet that if I wait even just two months, the price will have gone down enough to make this game TOTALLY worth it.

This is great, I have really high hopes for this game and by the looks of it my expectations are being reached. Beginning of october huh thats looking pretty good to me. The sooner i get the game in my hands the quicker i can enjoy a great game.

October, eh? That kinda sucks, the new Medal of Honor is in that time slot too.

@Nook

..that...and like 50 other games too.

Metal Gear Rising
Dead Rising 2 (a couple of weeks earlier)
Fallout New Vegas
...etc...

@ShadowXIII

Star Wars TFU II
Vanquish
Enslaved
True Crime (early Nov actually)
Medal of Honor

granted not all of these are purchases (or even rentals for some), but still it'll be an interesting month. and that's not even counting Halo Reach and Move coming out a month before and then Kinect coming out (not to mention COD:BO) in Nov.

le sigh. i'm still working through a back log of games. i'm curious though, out of all the stuff coming out this holiday what are people planing on picking up?

my list: Castlevania, COD BO, Fallout New Vegas. And who knows what else will surprise me (kinda hopin Two Worlds II pulls it off...)

@Gashlycrumb
True Crime sadly got pushed to next year. Which apparently only news outlets are reporting because gamestop. amazon, etc still have it for November.
