Cox told the UK's PSM3 (via sister site CVG) of the wealth of experience that Kojima brought to the project.

Cox said: "Frankly, the game wouldn't be as good without him. On a technical level, they've helped us with many things - with Gabriel and facial animation, design and more. I get videos from them highlighting issues, and that's really useful."

"The most surprising thing he told me was that he felt Mercury could teach them some things about game development," Cox continued. "That's typical of Mr. Kojima; he's generous and he's always looking at ways to improve what he does. Having someone of his calibre helping is a once-in-a-lifetime chance that the team is truly grateful for."

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is due out in the Autumn on and 360.
