Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 'Reverie' DLC delayed for Xbox 360

by Randy Nelson on Mar 30th 2011 2:55PM

We just did a double take when we heard that Konami has delayed its "Reverie" DLC for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow -- hadn't we heard this before? We had ... just one month ago when the add-on, originally slated to arrive in February, was delayed until March. Now it's been delayed until -- well, Konami isn't saying exactly.

Once again using Facebook as its conduit for bad news for Lords of Shadow fans, the publisher cites "a last minute issue which we hope to have fixed shortly" as the cause of the delay. "[W]e are working with Microsoft to resolve it as quickly as possible and give you the level of polish you deserve," the statement reads.

Given that the PSN version of the DLC hit the North American PlayStation Store a week ago, the issue must be platform-specific to Xbox Live (though European PS3 players are still waiting on Reverie, too). Whatever the cause, Konami will send word "as soon as a release date has been finalized."

Konami, I am disappoint.

That's unfortunate for 360 users, I lucked out since I have a ps3 and have been itching to play this since I just beat the game two days ago. I'm a bit hesitant though, the only review I could find stated that this dlc basically adds nothing to the story and consists mainly of platforming. Has anyone purchased it? Is it worth it, or should I just wait until it goes on sale eventually?

@doreo I bought it and havent actually had a chance to play it yet....

@doreo It only adds 3 levels, but it does explain the ending a little more. If you liked the main game and have $10 to spare, I'd say it's worth it.

*single, man-tear*

@CaptainProtonX

Man-tear = hammers

The person responsible for the 360 version must have been daydreaming instead of working.

I liked it. It certainly answered some questions from the game's ending along with building up to what would be an amazing final battle in the next DLC

@Enigma7ic

The producers are teasing a well-known CV villain as the last fight for DLC pack 2. I say it's Death.

Has it been delayed so they can make the game as good as the DS Castlevania titles?

@VeeDeeVee The game is already out so they can't delay it to make it comparable to a 2D game. And LoS is already good on it's own.

@VeeDeeVee Please stop fanboys and accept the evolution of the game...

Better drop the price for us then. Thats BS.

I keep debating on whether I should get this DLC or not :/
I got the game for $20 new in January and just got swamped with games and barely played this.

And nothing of value was lost.

I can't wait for the other DLC that extends the ending.

I saw the drawing before the article title and thought it was Big Boss :(

LoS is still in my backlog so I'm not too bothered by this yet.

Is that Yoji Shinkawa's artwork?!

More and more, I'm beginning to think $60 a month for Xbox Live just isn't worth it anymore. I was happy with the service for such a long time because none of the other consoles had as nice a setup back in the Xbox/PS2/GCN days, and then even during this generation, it came in pretty strong.

Lately though, PSN has been getting stuff first, the Playstation, in general, has been snagging some nice exclusive content, and the online play is all free. It's more or less on equal footing with Live and, in some ways, better. So what am I paying for?

If I had to guess, I'd say this related to some BS on Microsoft's end, and it's exactly the kind of "trainwreck" Gabe Newell spoke of awhile back.

@McDude I agree with pretty much everything you said I'd pretty much be pissed if I was getting charged $60 a month for live but i believe everyone is paying $60 a year I could be wrong though

@McDude I can kind of see where you are coming from here. I may be a PS guy, but a lot of that came from me not wanting to pay for something I got for free. I accepted that Xbox users would have a better online service, and they should. They paid for it.

But if something thats free is better than something thats not, I cant argue your thoughts on thinking you may be due for a change. From sonys line up of games alone this year I am pretty happy with my choice. People that say I'll never play mass effect forget I have a computer too.

Thats getting a little beyond my point. I doubt I need to defend my choice of gaming platform. On the positive side, at least they arent canceling it, just delaying it. I could understand being more irate about cancellation then delay.

@Stuwie

Ha....that's a typo on my part. I'm so used to all my subscriptions being on a monthly basis, I wasn't thinking.
