Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

Also know as: 悪魔城ドラキュラ ロード オブ シャドウ 2 Akumajō Dorakyura: Rōdo Obu Shadō 2 | Demon Castle Dracula: Lords of Shadow 2

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 (悪魔城ドラキュラ ロード オブ シャドウ 2 Akumajō Dorakyura: Rōdo Obu Shadō 2, lit. "Demon Castle Dracula: Lords of Shadow 2") is a game developed by Konami and MercurySteam for the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. It is the sequel to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Mirror of Fate. It was released on February 25, 2014. The games focuses on what happened to Gabriel Belmont, now known as Dracula, after the events of the first two games. It is the last game developed by MercurySteam and the conclusion to the Lords of Shadow saga. A first DLC entitled Revelations was released on March 25, 2014, starring Alucard. Plot: Taking place after the events of Mirror of Fate, the game begins with Dracula sitting in his throne room, drinking blood from a chalice that he is holding. After a few moments of sitting in silence, a sudden noise echoes through the corridor. Upon hearing said noise, Dracula looks up and witnesses the large door to the chamber being breached from the other side. After taking a brief sip of the remaining blood in the chalice, he stands up and slowly walks down from his throne (throwing away his chalice since it's now empty), to face the oncoming threat: the Brotherhood of Light. Dracula soon discovers that the Brotherhood is storming his castle with legions of soldiers as well as a colossal mechanical titan. After defeating several soldiers inside the throne room, Dracula confronts Roland de Ronceval, a Golden Paladin, outside on a balcony. He slowly makes his way up the Titan while simultaneously battling various Brotherhood soldiers as well as the Golden Paladin along the way. After tricking the Paladin into blasting off various locks that hold different parts of the Titan in place, he finally reaches the Titans power source: a large blue crystal. Dracula then proceeds to vomit a large amount of acidic blood onto the crystal, turning it red and finally destroying the titan. With the destruction of the titan, it slowly begins to break apart, which causes major destruction in the area as well as killing many of the Brotherhood soldiers in the process. In the aftermath of the battle and when the dust finally dies down, the vampire lord climbs out of the debris made from the remains of the Titan and proceeds to battle the Golden Paladin once more. Defeated, the Paladin brandishes a large cross and begins praying. Dracula explains that God's power cannot destroy him, as he is God's chosen one. Dracula then touches the cross, much to the Paladin's shock and begins to pray alongside the Paladin, causing a massive eruption of light that smites the Paladin and all of the remaining Brotherhood soldiers, leaving Dracula alone and unharmed. After all of this, Alucard is seen standing behind Dracula.
