Towards the close of E3, Nintendo let it be known that in addition to Trevor and Simon, the infamous Alucard would also be among the playable characters in the upcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, by way of an extended trailer (below).
Each character has their own special abilities, and you'll play as each in different time periods. Trevor can double-jump, use Light and Shadow magic, and can use unique sub-weapons like the Glaive and Electric Bomb. Simon has different sub-weapons and can summon guardians to fight for him or protect him from harm. And Alucard will be able to turn himself into mist like he could in Symphony of the Night.
No word yet on who the fourth character will be, but it's been confirmed that Sypha does reprise her role as wife of Trevor and mother of Simon. Whether or not she is playable hasn't been confirmed, but it would make sense to see her a Trevor team up like they did in the NES title Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.
Fate is also set to tie in with the upcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.
How's all this going to work out? We have some theories...
