In announcing the next “Summer of Arcade” line-up for Xbox LIVE Arcade, Microsoft has confirmed the existence of theheavily rumoredCastlevania: Harmony of Despair. Six-person co-op was mentioned in the Internet rumblings, but is that really the case? Let’s find out:
This fast-paced 2-D side scroller takes vampire hunters on a chase to bring Dracula, the Lord of Darkness, to his eternal slumber. Designed by the producer of the legendaryCastlevaniaseries, Koji Igarashi,Castlevania: Harmony of Despairallows friends to play together via online co-op story mode or duke it out to see who the best vampire hunter is in Survival Mode.
Looks like the leaks were correct! No new pictures have been shown yet, but we’ll keep an eye out.
Additionally, here are the other “Summer of Arcade” games:Hydro Thunder Hurricane,Lara Croft and the Guardian of the Light,Limbo, andMonday Night Combat. Can’t say that I’m feelingLara Croftso much; the remaining bunch is highly relevant to my interests, however.
