Konami has just unveiled brand new console IP known as ‘Lords of Shadow’ during its press conference at the Leipzig Games Convention.

Sounding remarkably like a cross between Castlevania and Too Human, the trailer depicted a lone knight kneeling in an atmospheric church, quickly followed by an almighty crash as a giant creature tears at the roof - shattering any illusion this would be anything but an action title.

The knight pulls out a sword and a whip made of chain, sets his weaponry on fire and takes aim at the monster - cut to the logo and end of the footage.

Nice tease Konami, but we're interested in finding out more. Lords of Shadow is confirmed as an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 release.

UPDATE:

Here is the trailer for Lords of Shadow:

looks intriguing

lol the release date is show at the  trailer

58.14.38.....

My title is wrong is First not firest

When I first heard about it on the Eurogamer live blog, it sounded like a cross between Castlevania and Zelda.

This video certainly has more of a Too Human-ish vibe, but it doesn't really show any gameplay, so we don't really know what it will be like.

I'm certainly excited, though. :)

Hm... Jericho was... not so good.  This trailer looks awesome though.
