(Disclaimer: I haven't been around for awhile, so if you've discussed this- my bad! )

Anyone seen the Lords of Shadow teaser trailer from the Leipzig GC 2008? It's by Konami, it's dark, and the guy's gotta whip. (I'm sold. :P )

Watch video

For a minute, I did a double take and thought they finally titled the next gen CV. Though I'm fairly confident this has nothing to do with the upcoming CV, doesn't anyone else find it coincidental and/or strange?

EDIT- On the website, the homepage has bats, and the synopsis page has a picture of a huge castle. Just weird. But exciting!

I find this more than a little queer to be honest.

Konami playing with the formula. I have little doubt that Castlevania Next Gen will be more traditional (as traditional as "Zeldavania" can get, assuming it isn't 2D) and this will be more experimental. If LoS does well, then some changing around, and we have an awesome 'vania. Konami loves testing stuff before releasing it.

A castle with bats? Does that mean ANOTHER vampire-hunting game from Konami? I think the two franchises they've got right now are plenty...
