Konami recently sent out a new press release for Castlevania Judgment, offering few new details but impressing us with some sweet screenshots and artwork for the game.

As mentioned previously, Castlevania Judgment intends to innovate by introducing the use of traps into the fighting genre. Furthermore, monsters that appear occasionally on the screen will actually move into the foreground to interfere with the actual battle and either help or hinder your game.

Sadly, the newest piece of news we’ve found from this new press release is the European release date, which states that European fans of the Castlevania franchise won’t be seeing this game till early 2009.

To tide you over till the game’s release though, feel free to enjoy the newly-released screenshots and artwork for the game below.
