Although a sequel looms, publisher Konami isn’t finished with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. The company announced today that a pair of DLC packs are due out early next year, boasting “all new areas, monsters, and brand new story lines.”

Here’s a brief overview on what to expect from these meaty bits of DLC:

In Castlevania Lords of Shadow ‘Reverie’ players will return to the Castle as Gabriel to help Laura, the former servant to the vampire Carmilla, in destroying the unruly evil that was previously kept in check by the recently slain Queen.

Once completed, fans of the series can download the second DLC entitled ‘Resurrection’, which continues the story directly after the end of the game and gives some insight into the dramatic epilogue seen by players upon completion of the game, and Gabriel’s ultimate destiny. This will be larger in scope than the first add-on, as it features a final showdown with a very notorious enemy. Both packs are expected to launch in early 2011.

Konami says the first pack is expected to hit PSN and Xbox Live Marketplace in February 2011. While there’s no word on pricing, we’d expect it to fall between $10-15.
