Another New Lords of Shadow 2 Video Released, This One Focuses on Weaponry & Abilities

As I said yesterday, get used to seeing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 plastered across the internet, as today launches the first in a new series of videos. This particular video highlights the new weaponry and abilities in the game.

With the conclusion to the ‘Lords of Shadow’ series releasing on February 25th, the publisher has issued the first video detailing key armaments within the new game. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 introduces an improved combat system, with Dracula earning a series of powerful weapons and abilities as he progresses through the game.

Central to this new format is the Void Sword, a mystical weapon with incredible restorative properties. The Void Sword is the focus of this first trailer, and the weapon itself is found early on in the game. Once obtained, the Void Sword allows Dracula to add his enemies’ health to his own with every strike. It is a hugely effective weapon, and becomes a focal point of the vampire’s arsenal.

The new 50-second trailer shows the sword in full flow, against multiple foes and the game’s larger adversaries. Stay tuned for more gameplay updates in the lead up to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2’s release.
