Gabriel Belmont makes a return in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

If there is anything that Lords of Shadow has taught us, it's that despite the many times Konami has tried to bring the Castlevania into the 3D realm, this was finally a game that managed to do it, and did it right.

The sequel will feature Gabriel as Dracula on his quest to regain his lost power to combat a new enemy. He'll also have to deal with the Belmont clan who want him dead.

The brief glimpse of gameplay showed off some truly impressive in-game graphics with Gabriel pulling off some very slick moves against some nasty monsters.

There was no official date set when the trailer premiered at the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards, however it was noted that the game is set to release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
