New Castlevania Anime Release Date Announced

Castlevania: Nocturne's release date announced ahead of the new animated series' launch with Netflix this September.

Castlevania's animated universe is expanding with another series coming to Netflix later this year, and now Castlevania: Nocturne has announced its official release date for this Fall! Following the successful launch of the fourth and final season of the Castlevania anime series back in 2021, Netflix quickly confirmed that the franchise would be continuing with a new series jumping forward in time and following the sun of Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades, Richter Belmont during the French Revolution era. But things have been relatively quite in terms of its development ever since this initial announcement. 

This new Castlevania Universe series was later confirmed to be titled Castlevania: Nocturne, and will feature Richter Belmont and Maria Renard, two major fan favorites from the Symphony of the Night and Blood of Rondo Castlevania games. With the first trailer for Castlevania: Nocturne releasing very soon, Netflix has dropped the first poster for the new Castlevania series that confirms that Castlevania: Nocturne will be launching around the world on September 28th and teases how fierce Richter will be in motion.

Netflix teases the original Castlevania anime series as such, "Inspired by the classic videogame series, CASTLEVANIA is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepes himself. Trevor Belmont, embittered and excommunicated, finds himself drawn into a battle for the survival of Europe – a region that has brought doom upon itself by taking away the one thing its greatest monster loved."
