Tonight Konami held their Second Annual Pre-E3 Show, wherein they get the jump on the rest of the industry by calling FIRST on the E3 news breakage.  Last year's event was all about Neverdead and MGS Rising, but this year's big reveal was definitely of a darker hue.  At the end of their presentation, Konami revealed the first ever trailer for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.

Those of you who played the first game will be happy to see the return of Gabriel Belmont, but might be surprised to see how he has changed since last we saw him.  Times are tough when you fight the denizens of the dark, and it appears he's had to resort to becoming what he most hates in order to survive.  Although, to be fair, looking at this trailer, he has picked up some pretty awesome tricks.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer for yourself, and keep an eye out for a surprising cameo.  Mind, officially, blown.
