Castlevania: Order of Shadows coming exclusively to mobile

Two Castlevania announcements in one day? Konami's getting serious

Castlevania: Order of Shadows coming exclusively to mobile

Continuing its commitment to break into the mobile gaming space (as reported this morning from Leipzig's Games Convention), Konami has announced a second – and, crucially, original – Castlevania title (the first being Aria of Sorrow, due in December).

Designed exclusively for the mobile platform in collaboration with Koji Igarashi, the franchise's daddy, the game promises a fresh vampire-hunting adventure featuring an all-new mechanic, storyline features and original music.

We've been told to expect updated abilities and spells, unique enemies and, er, full-screen particle effects as Konami continues its mission to radically shake up mobile games.

We'll soon know how well that quest is likely to fare – Order of the Shadows will be available on all major carriers from September 18th.
