Mirror of Fate set for early 2013

Konami just announced that Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate will launch early 2013 on the Nintendo 3DS.

"It's been two years since the enormous success of Castlevania Lords of Shadow, and with this next installment, we want to take the necessary time needed to give fans a handheld title unlike any other," said Konami's Dave Cox.

"Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate will bridge the storyline to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, also planned to release in 2013. Both titles will reveal the shocking fate of the Belmont Clan in a dramatic culmination of the Lords of Shadow saga."

The title is set 25 years after the events depicted in Castlevania: LofS, and also acts as a precursor for anticipated Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.
