Dengan gamblang Hideo Kojima menguraikan tentang keterlibatannya dalam pembuatan game Castlevania: Lords of Shadow dalam sebuah wawancara. "That's no exaggeration at all. The crowd's intense cheer was enough to send a massive shiver through the air. You definitely want to see this moment for yourself, when the unimaginable truth Kojima Productions rebooting the Castlevania series was first revealed." demikian dilansir Mingguan Famitsu.[cut]
Cerita dibalik Lords of Shadow sedikit lebih kompleks. Awalnya game ini diumumkan tahun lalu tanpa embel-embel "Castlevania", dikembangkan oleh MercurySteam Entertainment, dibawah Konami Digital Entertainment Europe's Dave Cox. Sebenarnya ini bukan murni game buatan Jepang lagi. Jadi kenapa tiba-tiba Hideo Kojima dan anggota team studio miliknya terlibat dalam game ini ?
"Kojima Productions is playing more of a support role," ujar Kojima kepada Famitsu minggu ini. "Castlevania is one of Konami's most important brands, one that's seen many releases since the original, and they've all been received warmly, but there's never been a Castlevania created to really satisfy Western gamers. People like Dave were influenced by Castlevania to become game designers, and now they're making titles like God of War. This has become a big project, one with the idea that we needed to make a Castlevania which had that same kind of feverish Western support, and that's why Kojima Productions came in to help."
Dalam wawancara, Kojima menjelaskan perannya tak lebih dari se-orang penasihat, "leaving things to Dave and the developers at Mercury Steam" dan "having them fix things based on my objective viewpoint." Diantara perbaikan yang disarankannya selama ini ialah mengerjakan ulang muka sang Hero, Kojima berkata diperlukan agar tampak lebih "heroik" ketika Cox menunjukkan trailer untuk pertama kali kepada Kojima.
Lords of Shadow isn't due out for the PS3 and 360 until next year, but already Kojima is optimistic. "I think it's safe to look forward to this title both as a Castlevania game and as an action game," he said, adding with a laugh that "it's got great gameplay and great action, and the graphics are good even to Japanese eyes."
