The game starts 26 years after the original Lords of Shadow game with Trevor Belmont, who is on a quest to destroy his father, Dracula, who was once Gabriel Belmont. Later parts of the game will feature his descendant Simon Belmont and Alucard. One other unannounced character will be playable at certain parts of the game. The events of this game will lead up to the upcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 console game.
