When asked about an HD console version of Mirror of Fate during an interview with CVG, UK Studio head Dave Cox said, “Absolutely, yeah. We would consider it.”

“We created everything in high definition—all the textures, all the levels, high-poly models, everything—and we kind of shrunk it all down into the 3DS,” said Cox.

“Then we lost bones from characters, you know, we dropped the resolution of the textures and everything to make it fit. At MercurySteam we have an HD version of the game sitting there in a computer somewhere.”

In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow — Mirror of Fate, players will control Trevor Belmont, Simon Belmont, and Alucard.

The game launches on 3DS March 5 in North America, March 8 in Europe, and March 20 in Japan.
