After the stellar reintroduction of the Castlevania franchise, MercurySteam proved they could take the longstanding Konami franchise and breathe new life into it, making it more than a Gestaltist collection of Uncharted-esque traversing, God of War chain combat, and the hallway structure of Final Fantasy XIII. The bridging title, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate, with all its long-winded nomenclature, offered very little in the way of game and provided a rather weak continuation of the Spanish developers first effort with this new take, ending up more as a storytelling vehicle than a game. However, with news that MercurySteam was opening up the world a bit to give players a greater sense of freedom rather than having them traverse pretty-laden corridors and be the king of the creatures of the night, Dracula.

From their preview: " As pirates, you and your crew obviously arent aligned to anyone but your own desire for all the phat lewts, but the game does offer up factions by way of the warring Spanish and British, both of whom you can engage as you see fit, but you can also just leave them alone to sort out their own issues. This allows you to simply come in and pick off the limping winner, or enjoy the leftover spoils of battle -- either way, being a somewhat neutral party in the series does present itself with exciting opportunities. For example, you can engage in taking over island forts, manned by either of the aforementioned factions.
