Get ready to whip your way to a Belmont victory, as Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Ultimate Edition blasts its way onto your Steam service today

It's already been a few years since we were graced with a 3D Castlevania game that for the first "real" time in the history of the series, it was accepted with at least the majority of the "MetroidVania" fans. Sure, Lament of Innocense and Curse of Darkness were accepted with a lot of fans out there, but it wasn't really until Lords of Shadow hit the scene that it was proven that Castlevania can surely survive in a 3D world. Ever since then, two more packs have added onto an already successful game. Not to mention some decent downloadable content.

Now PC owners will get a genuine taste of Lords of Shadow, as today is the day it launches for it, along with all of the DLC packs, which also include the Reverie and Resurrection extensions with it. Along with today's release, are some new screen shots Konami has released, and they do look sweet enough to eat. There are currently two versions to take advantage of. First the Windows PC retail boxed version, and then there is the European digital version being released TODAY by way of the Steam service. The boxed retail version will be available in just a few days on August 30th. In the meantime, check out a video below if you haven't had a chance to see it in action yet.
