The wonderful thing about gaming is that there are plenty of appropriate games to play during each major holiday. For Independence Day, we have 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. For Christmas, we have Home Alone for the SNES. For Halloween, take your pick of any Castlevania title. If you don’t have a Castlevania title for today, maybe a trailer for the latest game will tide you over.

The new Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 trailer – simply titled “Dracula’s Vengeance” – gives us more details regarding the story players can expect from the next and final chapter in the Lords of Shadow trilogy. As expected, it’s pretty epic and sets the mood for what is shaping up to be the gothic epic of 2014.

You can try out Lords of Shadow 2 for yourself as the demo is included in the HD remake of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate on the PSN and XBLA.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will be released on February 25, 2014 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
