It was rumored before but now it's confirmed- Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2's first DLC, Revelations, will star Alucard. Konami just announced that the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night lead and son of Dracula will will take center stage in the new content, which is set to be released on March 25th for on Xbox Live and the PSN. There's no word on pricing just yet.
The DLC is actually set right before the events in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, where Alucard will ready for his father's return and his upcoming battle against Satan. There will be a few mysteries that will be cleared up as we find out just how linked to the main game Alucard's actions were.
Alucard in this new rebooted version of Castlevania is much different than the character we knew from the last games, where he was actively hunting down his father in order to kill him. He appeared in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow- Mirror of Fate where it was revealed that he was actually Trevor Belmont, before being turned into a vampire. I'm not sure why everyone decides to change their name after being turned- maybe it's like being inititated into a gang.
