Netflix’s Castlevania: Nocturne debuts in September

Castlevania fever registers an 11 on the Richter scale

We’ve been looking forward to the next step in the Castlevania animated series ever since the stellar original run ended. Now, with the plot following Richter Belmont, we feel like some truly crazy shit is about to take place.

While the original series served as the foundation and origin of Dracula’s mythos in the games, this will tell the tale of Richet’s origin, including what drove him from childhood to be the vampire hunter we all know (and love, especially in Super Smash Bros). His gaming arc has him turning from being the most powerful Belmont to the most shameful, and back again. In fact, the name “Nocturne” alludes to the Japan-only “Nocturne of Recollection” radio play that told Richter’s story in greater detail, including the post-Symphony of the Night era.

Castlevania: Nocturne arrives on Netflix on September 28th.
