Wie Konami nun mit Hilfe einer Pressemitteilung kurz vor Start der Gamescom bekannt gibt, erscheint Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate erst 2013 für die 3DS-Plattform. Einen Grund gab man allerdings nicht an.
"Konami's resurrection of the Castlevania series continues, as the breath-taking Castlevania: Lords of Shadows series heads to Nintendo 3DS in 2013 with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. Developed by Mercury Steam and acting as a prequel to the forthcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, the Nintendo 3DS game follows Trevor and Simon Belmont as they enter the shadow-laden castle of series villain, Dracula."
