 The game was originally announced as Lords of Shadow with no connection to the Castlevania series mentioned . This was done to keep their plans to radically change the direction of the Castlevania mythos a secret and to prevent the announcement of the game from upstaging another series release , Castlevania Judgment . Hideo Kojima , creator of the Metal Gear series , helped produce the title . The music was composed by Spanish composer Óscar Araujo , who was acclaimed for his work on the game .
