Netflix has unleashed a new Castlevania: Nocturne trailer and details of a special digital premiere event for the animated show.
Castlevania: Nocturne is the latest part of Netflix’s adaptation of Konami’s longstanding video game series. It is specifically based on the 1993 game Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and is set over 300 years after the events of the original Castlevania animated series.
Yesterday Netflix revealed a poster for the series featuring lead characters Richter Belmont and Maria Renard.
The trailer showcases the kind of bloody action we’ve come to expect from the Netflix adaptations.
