[Update] We just received word that the app has been dalayed. We will update as soon as we get one.
It seems impossible to launch a video game in today’s age without some type of facebook integration included. Konami today unveiled its app to go along with their latest Castlevania game, Lords of Shadow which hits stores tomorrow.
The app will expand the Castlevania experience and bring the same ‘bite’ to the facebook app and allow to unlock ‘special’ content. And if you’d like to build that ‘ultimate viral army of good or evil’ then please hit facebook for that.
