Castlevania: Lord of Shadow – Mirror of Fate producer Dave Cox has today revealed the game’s expected campaign length. Cox says that an average gamer’s initial play-through should take around 16 hours. This is quite a lengthy campaign for a portable action game. He also says that a second play-through should take around a dozen hours and that fully completing the game (which nets you an extra ending) should take about 20 hours. I’m not clear on Cox’s idea of an average gamer, but 20 hours is quite a lot of game-play for this kind of game.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate will be available exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS in March.
