Castlevania: Nocturne Animated Spinoff Trailer

Blood-stained revelations await! Dive into the darkness with the Castlevania Nocturne trailer and prepare for a vampire-hunting adventure like no other. 🌕🦇

Netflix’s Castlevania series wrapped up the show for good, but it won’t be the last time the legendary franchise graces the small screen. During Netflix’s Geeked Week livestream today, Castlevania’s principal creators confirmed that a new show is in the works and will spotlight Richter Belmont.

Castlevania: Nocturne is set in 1792 during the French Revolution. Apart from Richter Belmont, fans can expect the introduction of a new character who, too, is part of the Belmont bloodline: Julia Belmont, voice-acted by Sophie Skelton (Outlander, Day of the Dead: Bloodline). A teenage vampire hunter, Maria Renard, was also teased by director Samuel Deats. Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades will be making their return in the form of flashbacks.

Richter is one of the more prolific Belmonts in Castlevania lore. Debuting in 1993’s Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (perhaps better known to Westerners as Castlevania: Dracula X),  he’s a young but powerful descendant of Simon Belmont and a master vampire killer. During Rondo of Blood, he rescues Maria Renard, a 12-year-old orphan, spellcaster/vampire huntress, and distant relative of the Belmont Clan, who serves as a secondary playable character. Keep in mind that Rondo of Blood also takes place in 1792. The series will likely take some inspiration from that game’s events the way the previous show draws its story from Castlevania III.
