Konami has released another gameplay video from Mercury Steam's upcoming action-adventure game Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, this time featuring the infamous Toy Maker.

For the first time in the long-standing franchise, players will take control of Dracula, the legendary vampire. Awakened from his endless sleep, he will be weakened at first, but players will assist in gradually regaining his former strength.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will see the Lords of Shadow storyline concluded, after battling through the open world setting of a modern city, Dracula's castle, and finally going toe to toe with the Arch-nemesis, Satan.

The gameplay video features a gruesome battle with the mischievous Toy Maker, a mysterious adversary first introduced in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate that now makes a return, as his macabre lair will host one of the game's major confrontations.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is scheduled to launch on February 25 in North America and on February 28 in Europe, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC platforms.
