ICYMI: Richter Belmont and Maria Renard star in the next Castlevania series from Netflix

 


It looks like one of the most beloved chapters in Castlevania lore is getting the Netflix anime series treatment, as Samuel Deats, Adam Deats, and the rest of Powerhouse Animation and team Castlevania Netflix has announced at Geeked Week that they are adapting the stories of Richter Belmont and Maria Renard -- better known as the playable heroes of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and its remake Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles!

While nothing was shown for the new spinoff series, the details are that it's set in 1792 and during the French Revolution. It's not known if this will be a straight adaptation of Rondo of Blood or if Dracula and Castlevania plays into it, but we'll find out eventually and if there is a chance that the events of the sequel Castlevania: Symphony of the Night will be factored in as Richter and Maria also feature in that Alucard starring Metroidvania game. We'll just have to wait and see what the team and Netflix have got for us soon!

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night drops on iOS and Android Devices!🦇📱


In what is certainly the perfect opportunity to capitalize on nostalgia and give fans new and old the perfect complimentary piece for the new season of the Netflix series premiering TOMORROW, Konami has released a mobile app port of the critically acclaimed “Castlevania: Symphony of the Night”!


Known as “Dracula X: Nocturne of the Moonlight” in Japan, this side-scrolling action adventure game was originally released in March 1997 in Japan for the Sony Playstation, before being translated and getting the North American release known to everyone, mankind ill or otherwise (a reference to the original dub haha). Unlike previous Castlevania titles, Symphony of the Night was a departure from the simple whip and go progressive adventures the Belmont clan were accustomed to. This time, the primary adventure put you in control of Dracula’s own son Alucard as he awakens from a centuries long slumber after the current wielder of the Vampire Killer whip, Richter Belmont, mysteriously disappears.



In a style dubbed as “Metroidvania” by fans, players guided Alucard in a non-linear, action RPG styled adventure, unlocking secrets, learning spells, acquiring different sets of weapons and equipment, and leveling up after battling and defeating monsters around the castle.



Produced by the legendary Koji Igarashi and going on to becoming one of the most beloved games in video game history, Symphony of the Night saw many ports and rereleases following its Playstation debut, including a redubbed version first released for the Playstation Portable as a hidden game in “Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles” and then that very version together with its predecessor “Castlevania: Rondo of Blood” was bundled as a digital release for the Playstation called “Castlevania: Requiem”.



You’ll be playing that very same PSP/ PS4 release for the iOS/ Android mobile devices, but with shortcuts and quick presses to make it easier if you don’t have a controller on hand.



Literally SOTN on the go and in time for Castlevania Netflix Season 3! This Mobile Edition of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night retails at $2.99! Add it to your collection if you love playing in your mobile devices and phones!

While the surviving Forge Masters and Carmilla plan and put together their armies to finish what Vlad Tepes started - the elimination of humankind.

Castlevania Season 2: Bloody Tears were literally shed for this Netflix masterpiece


It's been almost two weeks since Netflix and producer Adi Shankar unleashed the second season of their animated series adaptation of "Castlevania" - the beloved action adventure series that sees players take on the role of Vampire Hunters traversing through Dracula's namesake castle and facing the Lord of Darkness himself. This show is nothing short of PERFECTION - premiering on July 2017 on the streaming service with four episodes - before eventually getting an expanded eight episode run this year with the sophomore season.

Castlevania: Season 2 | Official Trailer

Developed originally as a film beginning as early as 2007, Castlevania lingered on in developmental hell until 2015 - when it was resurrected and eventually began new life as a planned animated adult television series. Warren Ellis served as the writer of the series - adapting concepts and themes largely based from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, but telling a wholly original story the fleshed out the adventures of Treveor Belmont, Sypha, Alucard, and of course Dracula and his army. The first season served as a slow introduction that built up the plot and narrative of Dracula's mission of vengeance after his wife Lisa is burned in the stake - which eventually sets up his inevitable confrontation with the Vampire Hunters and his estranged son - who honors his mother's wish to leave humanity unharmed by her husband's fury. Season 2 successfully expands the story and tuned up the band - introducing new characters and story arcs while maintaining the main plot - with Episode 7 serving as the "main course" that fans of the series have waited for. You just have to see it to believe it.


With Season 2 currently streaming and offering some good ol' Vampire Killer goodness to fans, Castlevania has proven itself to be one heck of a video game adaptation - possibly even THE BEST ONE made to date. Season 3 has been confirmed and is expected to come around within the next year or so. We'll just have to wait and see where the adventure to defeat the forces of evil takes us next. Catch this now on Netflix.
