Dave Cox, a producer working on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, says that his team at MercursySteam does not need input from Hideo Kojima in order to create a successful video game experience.
The developer tells The Official PlayStation Magazine that, “We loved working with Mr Kojima, but he was onboard in an advisory capacity and I think we proved our abilities with the first Lords Of Shadow.”
He adds that MercurySteam has a clear vision for the game and all the tools it needs to implement.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will allow gamers to take control of Dracula, who has lost all his vampire powers as he travelled to a new modern-day setting.
Exploring the world and solving challenges will allow players to regain them one at a time.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will be launched on the PC and on current-gen platforms in the fourth quarter of the year.
