    Two additional chunks of downloadable content are coming to both versions of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow in early 2011, Konami has announced.
     
    The first pack, called Reverie, appears to be a standard, one-off DLC addition that ties into the events of the main game. According to Konami, it'll have you returning to the game's castle as Gabriel in an attempt to help the former servant Laura destroy "the unruly evil that was previously kept in check by the recently slain Queen." 
      

      
    The second pack, which is slated for an April release and has been dubbed Resurrection, will take place immediately following the events of Lords of Shadow. Konami says this is the more substantial of the two currently slated DLC packs, as it sheds some light on the game's cliffhanger ending and features a "final showdown with a very notorious enemy." Oh, God, I hope it's Frankenstein
     
    As I've said a billion times before, early 2011 will be a pretty busy time of the year. Will you be making time to return to Lords of Shadow? Or will that ship have sailed?

    I'm not against the DLC. It sounds like a great expansion to the game. The game had a proper (if not confusing) ending, and the Resurrection sounds like an epilogue.

    Hell yeah I will make time for the DLC. My brother and I really enjoyed the game and  the ending was pretty damn good. 
     
    Also your tweet from earlier today makes a lot more sense now.

    Anything Castlevania-related is an automatic must-buy for me.  I'll be there the day they each are released with bells on.  That is, I will have bells on. I don't think they would release DLC with bells accessories.  Although that would be pretty rad.

    Aww crap. I wish I hadn't traded it in yet. Oh well, by the time I'll want to play through it again, it might be cheap enough where I won't mind buying it again as I absolutely loved playing through it the first time.

    Can't wait. LOS was a great game and certainly didn't feel like they held things back for later DLC as Assassin's Creed 2 felt.

    I wouldn't mind playing both of those actually. 
     
    Still if the latter DLC will have the "final showdown with a notorious enemy" where would that leave the recently announced sequel? Actually, it's though for me to imagine any way the series could go, story wise, which makes it kind of interesting.

    While I liked the game, getting the plat in it really left me no longer interested in it. We'll see once they're out.

    I'll play it, mainly out of a compulsion for completeness. Considering the castle portions were pretty much the only part of the game I can say I genuinely enjoyed, I'm curious to see what they'll do with it.

    I'll be getting the DLC too provided they aren't absurdly overpriced.
