More CastleVania: Lords of Shadow 2 Theories!

Okay, so Castlevania: LoS2 has you as a weakened Drac regaining his powers from his castle, likely the state he was in, in the Epilogue of LoS1. The Epilogue was set in modern times, and you fight Satan again, but you apparently have a Belmont hunting you down, as well. You have Zobek/Death on your side this time around, and I have the feeling that the Belmont will be Julius. Gonna say that you'll fill in story gaps via flashbacks as you regain powers and trinkets.
It's in a castle, there's gonna be a war against Satan's minions and the Brotherhood of Light, and it's possibly 1999... so it's the Castle War of 1999! Though Lords takes place in an alternate (not a reboot, but alternate) universe lol
I also feel that Alucard/Trevor might assist Julius like he must have in the original timeline, and that the twist is that Julius and Alucard end up killing Gabriel/Drac, putting him to rest after you put Satan under the second time. I hope that there's an epic team-up of Gabriel, Alucard and Julius against Satan, but not sure if it'll work out that way.
LoS2 is the conclusion to the Lords Trilogy (Mirror of Fate for the 3DS is the bridge between LoS1 and 2), so they do have to put Gabriel to rest. I have mixed feelings about it, first time I've actually felt sorry for Dracula in the CastleVania franchise, no matter how they tried to portray him as misguided in the original franchise. I honestly feel that Mercury Steam is doing an awesome job with their take on the CastleVania mythos, and definitely seeing it to the end.

http://i-c.animepaper.net/thumbnail.....w-1440e197.jpg - Alucard's a playable character in Mirror of Fate. He seems to be what happens to Trevor Belmont after a failed attempt to destroy Gabriel/Drac. In the MoF trailer, he's voiced by the same actor that does Trevor's voice, and initially, he apparently comes across Simon (his son in this continuity) with white hair and holding his Combat Cross, which looks a lot like the hilt of the sword int he poster.
lol Okay, I'm done, but so excite!

Well aren't you a big fan of Castlevania. XD Don't worry, I love the crap out of this series! I still need to play the DS versions of Castlevania, the only ones I completed were the NES ones, CV4 on the SNES, Symphony of the Night and the Game Boy Advance ones. I also need to play the n64 ones and the PS2 ones as well. I even need to really go and buy LoS for my PS3 so I can play Mirror of Fate on my 3DS and then play LoS2... *gasp* that was to long.

i've loved the handheld castlevanias. never got a chance to play any of the 3D ones, and need to watch a playthrough of LoS sometime, but playing as drac seems like a cool concept.

I wish I owned a 3ds now, there are only a few games I wanr thus far but it finally seems like they're pumping out some titles I'd be interested in playing. Oh well, maybe until I'm able to get one I'll just have to wait. Then again it's not like it's coming out right away, perhaps I'll have tje means by then. Still though looking forward to all this as well. i'm replaying theough LoS just for the fun of it, and besides I still need tio play through and complete the DLC. (Haven't been able to yet, xbox died and I switched to Ps3, and so had to start again from scratch)
