Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
Konami has finally set a firm date for the new 2D Castlevania adventure for the Xbox Live Arcade. Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, which is a part of the Microsoft Summer of Arcade, will be released on August 4, 2010 for 1200 Microsoft points.
The new game focuses on cooperative gameplay with up to 5 of your friends as you will traverse through massive levels inspired by the recent Nintendo DS games. Aside from the characters and levels included in the initial release of the game, Konami plans on supporting the game through DLC for a while after the release. New levels and classic character packs are already planned.
We only have about a month left to wait, thankfully as I cannot wait for Harmony of Despair personally. In the meantime, check out some new screenshots courtesy of the Konami and the official press release after the jump.
