Video game publisher Konami is officially pointing to March 8, 2013 as the European launch date for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate, which will also be available to North American players three days earlier.

The game is set to launch on the 3DS handheld from Nintendo and will act as a sequel, telling the story of the various children of Gabriel Belmont, who is now called Dracula.

All the stories take place 25 years after the original Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Trevor Belmont will have to deal with various supernatural enemies and his own troubled past in order to succeed in his quest and battle his own father.

The game will feature side-scrolling action and gamers will be able to use the various features of the 3DS in order to perform new in-game actions.
