PS3 Castlevania save patch "incoming"

Konami has assured disgruntled owners of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow on PS3 that a patch to fix a worrying problem is "incoming".

Some users reported being prompted with a message telling them, "Save file corrupt, will now overwrite, press X to continue," according to Joystiq.

In response, Konami tweeted: "Fear not, Vampire Killers. A patch for the PS3 save issue affecting Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is incoming. We'll update on availability."

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was released earlier this month. Review scores were high and consumers happily threw their cash at the game. The result? Konami has already commissioned a sequel.
