A new revolution in the Castlevania franchise is about to begin. Netflix just dropped a new trailer for its new animated series Castlevania: Nocturne. This time, Richter is about to take over the fights from Trevor with the help of Maria, Annette, and other monster fighters and mages.
Castlevania: Nocturne serves as a spinoff to the classic dark fantasy series based on the video game franchise of the same name by Konami. The new Netflix show is adapted from the 1993 entry Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and its sequel Symphony of the Night, following the story of the descendant of the Belmont family, Richter.
The trailer starts with a ceremony of the vampires before flashes of different creatures and monsters begin. It then sees Annette looking for Belmont, who Maria describes as an “ungrateful wanker.”
The enemies start looking for this “vampire messiah,” who will bring “horror beyond nightmares, suffering, and pain beyond endurance.” As Tera encounters these evils, Belmont doesn’t care what they are, but he’s sure they can die, starting a series of action-packed scenes that see him preparing for a big revolution.
You can see the trailer below:
