The latest Castlevania title shows that the franchise is still strong with Lord of Shadows shipping over 1 million units. The title, developed by Mercury Steam in association with Kojima Productions Studio, was notable in that the design was a reinvention of the series for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
"Castlevania has truly reinvented itself with its move to next gen platforms and we're extremely pleased at the positive response we've seen toward Castlevania: Lords of Shadow globally, mainly due to the dedicated fans who have supported the series for so long," said Shinji Hirano, president of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
"The remarkable sales achieved in such a short time are a true testament of the work and dedication that went into this project, and we're very grateful to have partnered with such fine talent in the rebirth of one of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.'s most successful franchises."
