Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 – Return of the Toymaker

Konami Digital Entertainment has released a new trailer for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 title for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC on 28th February, and KONAMI has whet the appetite of its fans that’s focuses on the game’s creepy Toymaker character.

The Toymaker is a mischievous adversary of mysterious origin. He was first introduced in the Nintendo 3DS and XBLA and PSN title Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. His arrival is signaled throughout Mirror of Fate, and the character’s genius for creation is highlighted when he animated his evil creations with the spirit of the Daemon Lord. He returns in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 when his macabre lair plays host to one of the game’s key confrontations.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 acts as a conclusion to the Lords of Shadow story. The new game is set in a modern city tainted by Dracula’s influence and within Dracula’s castle itself. It sees a tortured Dracula charged with engaging Satan in battle once again. This epic sequel boasts a vast open-world environment, user-controlled camera, and a truly enormous challenge as the world’s most famous vampire seeks an end to his immortal existence, as his story comes to an end in suitably shocking circumstances.

All-New World for Guild Wars 2 ‘Edge of the Mists’

NCSOFT and ArenaNet have introduced players to a mysterious new realm in the ‘Edge of the Mists’. The release delivers living world content that drives forward the story of villain Scarlet Briar, exposing more of her horrific plans for Tyria and its citizens. At the same time, ‘Edge of the Mists’ introduces an overflow map with new gameplay systems and improvements to the overall experience for World vs. World (WvW), the game’s massive battle PvP mode that continues to surge in popularity.

GW2_-_EotM_-_02-14_-_Arid_Fortress

As players will discover in the ‘Edge of the Mists’, no place is safe from the schemes of supervillain Scarlet Briar. The previously undiscovered realm is now overrun by the Aetherblades; dreaded sky pirates of Tyria who are undoubtedly pursuing the deeds of their minion Scarlet. Tragically, norn warrior Braham along with asuran child prodigy Taimi; both key characters in Guild Wars 2; have become stranded in the Mists. Players must help them while fending off attacks from the vicious Aetherblades.

GW2_-_EotM_-_02-14_-_Dead_End_Rox

The introduction of the ‘Edge of the Mists’ is also giving players a new way to experience the game’s popular WvW mode. In WvW, armies of players engage in PvP on an epic scale, competing to seize territory, lay siege to castles, raid enemy supplies, and spread mayhem on four vast maps in the Mists. Now, players will never again have to wait to participate in WvW.  ‘Edge of the Mists’ acts as an overflow map that gives them the option to continue playing in a PvP and PvE environment, with different zones that compose the map’s network of floating islands inhabited by creatures such as the kodan, ogres, and grawl.  Players continue to build rank and gain loot and achievements while still in queue to join regular WvW matches.  There’s also a new UI system in place that provides complete visibility on which maps are populated and anticipated queue times.

The living world action in today’s release isn’t limited to the Mists. Back in Tyria, players will join two other key characters, Marjory and Kasmeer, in the seedy Dead End Bar to piece together clues as to Scarlet’s true motives. Using artifacts and props from the last year of living world storylines, players will deduce Scarlet’s ultimate plan in a shocking revelation.
