Konami Digital Entertainment has revealed a new trailer for the upcoming downloadable content pack for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.

The new content, titled Revelations, will become available on March 25 for the Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and Steam for PC, bringing a host of all-new locations as well as offering players the chance to re-experience familiar settings.

The downloadable content pack will follow Alucard, one of the series' most popular characters, allowing players to explore new branches of the engaging storyline.

Alucard, the son of Gabriel, has shunned human life for many years after being turned, choosing to hunt only creatures of the night.

The DLC pack takes place just before the cataclysmic events of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, showing Alucard preparing for his father's return and the inevitable battle with Satan.

Progressing through the plot will allow players to discover just how the lone vampire's fate is inextricably linked to his father's.

The new trailer released for the Revelations DLC shows many of the moves and skills in Alucard's arsenal, as well as offering a glimpse of the epic locations seen in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.

Taking on the role of Alucard, players will have to discover the many secrets of the legendary vampire, discover his own involvement in Dracula's story and then proceed to set in motion the events of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.

Players will witness the expansion of the thrilling story revealed in the recently released conclusion to the Lords of Shadow saga, unveiling the fate of the Belmont Clan.

Alucard's unique and powerful abilities include the use of the Glaciem and Igneas powers, in addition to his vampiric abilities which will help him transform into a wolf, a swarm of bats and even allow him the manipulation of time itself.

The enemy's blood is Alucard's main fuel, as drinking them dry intensifies his immortal powers, allowing his abilities to surge in power.

The Revelations DLC will have a price tag of $8 / €6 and will require that players already own the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 video game.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC platforms, in both retail and digital form on the Xbox Live Games on Demand, PlayStation Network and on Steam, and it allows fans of the long-standing Castlevania franchise to play as the legendary vampire Dracula for the first time in the series.
