Castlevania gets patched

And ships one million copies as well.

Konami has announced the release of a game patch for the PlayStation 3 version of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, with an Xbox 360 version patch expected shortly.

"The patch will help resolve the "save game" issues related to user interaction with controller buttons (PlayStation button and SELECT), or disconnection of the controller while the auto-save icon is on-screen. The patch will also offer cosmetic upgrades such as ability for the loading screen text to scroll improving user readability," reads the press release.

The publisher has also announced that the title has now shipped over one million units across the US and UK. Not bad for a game that wasn't even branded with the Castlevania logo when it was first announced.

"Castlevania has truly reinvented itself with its move to next gen platforms and we're extremely pleased at the positive response we've seen toward Castlevania: Lords of Shadow globally, mainly due to the dedicated fans who have supported the series for so long," said Shinji Hirano, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "The remarkable sales achieved in such a short time are a true testament of the work and dedication that went into this project, and we're very grateful to have partnered with such fine talent in the rebirth of one of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.'s most successful franchises."

The game, released a few months ago, was developed by Spanish studio MercurySteam in collaboration with Kojima Productions. It was not bad at all.
