Castlevania: Nocturne Teases New Images Ahead Of The Series Premiere On September 28th

The highly anticipated Castlevania: Nocturne series has treated fans to a sneak peek with a brand new image featuring the character Annette. While much about the show’s characters remains shrouded in mystery, Annette’s name may strike a chord with fans of the Castlevania franchise, as she shares a moniker with Richter Belmont’s beloved girlfriend, who made her debut appearance in the Castlevania: Rondo of Blood video game.

Continuing the Legacy

Castlevania: Nocturne is set to continue the legacy of the original Netflix Castlevania series, which primarily followed the adventures of Trevor Belmont, Alucard, and the original character Sylphie. This beloved show concluded its four-season run in 2021, leaving fans eager for more blood-pumping vampire-hunting action.

The announcement of the new project came shortly after the original series wrapped up, though details regarding the title and content remained shrouded in secrecy. Netflix has now shed some light on what fans can expect, promising a focus on the “new generation of vampire hunters” and following the lineage of Richter Belmont, the descendant of Trevor.

Behind the scenes, Kevin Kolder takes on the role of showrunner, with Clive Bradley credited as creator and writer. The series is produced by Project 51 Productions and Powerhouse Animation. Interestingly, despite being referred to as an anime by Netflix, the series involves staff and studios not of Japanese origin. Instead, it draws its inspiration from Konami’s classic Castlevania games, which have captivated gamers since the release of the first installment in 1986. Castlevania: Nocturne places the spotlight on Richter, a character known to fans from games such as Symphony of Night and Blood of Rondo within the Castlevania universe.

A Glimpse Into the Past

The initial Netflix Castlevania animated series skillfully chronicled the exploits of Trevor Belmont and his companions as they battled Dracula during the first two seasons and subsequently confronted other formidable vampire foes in later seasons.

Now, a few centuries later, the saga of the Belmonts continues. With the forces of darkness stirring once more, a new Belmont rises to challenge them. As we eagerly await the series premiere, let’s delve into what we know so far about Castlevania: Nocturne.

Release Date and Streaming Details
