Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is an upcoming video game in the Castlevania series, and is a reboot of the franchise.[3] It will be an action adventure game in a fantasy setting in Southern Europe during the Middle Ages. The game is being developed by MercurySteam and Kojima Productions to be published by Konami in 2010.[4][5][6] Hideo Kojima, producer of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, will be involved with the title, albeit in a small role.[4]

The game was originally announced as Lords of Shadow with no connection to the Castlevania series mentioned.[7] According to Konami this was to keep their plans to radically change the direction of the Castlevania myth a secret[8] and to keep the announcement of the game from upstaging their other series release at the time, Castlevania Judgment.
