First Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 image spotted

What appears to be the first piece of art from Konami's rumoured Castlevania: Lords of Shadow sequel has found its way onto the web.

The image, above, appeared on the publisher's Facebook page along with a link to a teaser site titled The Dragon Returns, promising a 31st May reveal.

A clever NeoGAF poster then spotted "CLOS Teaser Page" in the site's source code, adding further weight to speculation that a sequel to MercurySteam's 2010 adventure is indeed incoming.

According to a report earlier this week, Lords of Shadow 2 is in development for Wii U, PlayStation 3, Vita and Xbox 360, with the 3DS receiving side-scrolling spin-off title Mirror of Fate.
