PS3vault is reporting that Konami has announced the release window and box art for Catlevania: Lords of Shadow.

The reboot of the franchise stars Gabriel Belmont, a member of a holy order dedicated to defeating supernatural threats.

Gabriel then begins a quest to defeat the three Lords of Shadow to obtain the pieces of the God Mask, a relic with the ability to bring back the dead.
