Konami has officially announced Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate HD.
The upgraded version of March 2013's 3DS release will launch on October 31 on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, Konami said today on the Lords of Shadow Facebook page. The title's existence was revealed last week when retailer Play Asia began carrying PS3 and Xbox 360 listings for a still unannounced Castlevania Lords of Shadow Collection, which will feature the original Lords of Shadow, its DLC, and Mirror of Fate HD.
It wouldn't be surprising if Konami announces the Collection at Gamescom, where the franchise will form a major part of its show line-up.
Speaking in the run-up to Mirror Of Fate's 3DS release, Konami head of UK Studio Dave Cox told CVGthat developer MercurySteam would "absolutely" consider an upgraded version of the game for home consoles should it be successful on Nintendo's portable.
He said: "We created everything in high definition - all the textures, all the levels, high-poly models, everything - and we kind of shrunk it all down into the 3DS.
"Then we lost bones from characters, you know, we dropped the resolution of the textures and everything to make it fit. At MercurySteam we have an HD version of the game sitting there in a computer somewhere."
