Castlevania: Lords of Shadow [Limited Edition]

Producer David Cox stated the game is a reboot of the franchise.[13][14] The setting of Lords of Shadow is during "the end of days" in the year 1047.[15] The Earth's alliance with the Heavens has been threatened by a malevolent force known as the Lords of Shadow. A dark spell has stopped the souls of the deceased from leaving,[16] while evil creatures inhabit the dying land and attack living people.

The main character, Gabriel Belmont[17] (voiced by Robert Carlyle[13]), is a member of the Brotherhood of Light, an elite group of holy knights who protect and defend innocent people against the supernatural creatures. Gabriel's wife Marie (Natascha McElhone[13]) was brutally murdered by one of them, and her soul cannot leave as it is trapped in limbo.[16] Because she is now neither alive nor dead, she realizes what is at stake and guides Gabriel to his destiny to save the world as he investigates the dark spell. He travels the destroyed land, meeting other characters, such as the oldest living member of his order,[8] Zobek (Patrick Stewart, who additionally narrates the game[13]). Two masks referred to as the God and Devil Masks lie at the center of the plot, with the God Mask having powers to resurrect the dead.[10] Gabriel intends to defeat the three factions of the Lords of Shadow in order to obtain the pieces of the God Mask and bring back his deceased wife.[16][18]
