As in the previous game, the player will control Gabriel Belmont, now known as Dracula, as he fights through an open world.During the game's opening sequence the player will able to control Dracula while he still possesses all his powers as well as all of his weapons.Dracula's main weapon is his Blood Whip, a weapon that is comparable to the Combat Cross from the original Lords of Shadow. Replacing the magic system from the previous game are the Void Sword and the Chaos Claws. The Void Sword can replenish Dracula's health when used while the Chaos Claws can be used to break through enemy defenses and deliver powerful attacks. The story mode in Lords of Shadow 2 has been stated to be far longer than the previous one.The game will mainly be an open world allowing the player to choose what route to take.This game will also feature a movable camera, something that was not available in the first Lords of Shadow game.
