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.

Annette, a sorceress from the Caribbean, seeks out Richter Belmont, the last descendant of the long-fabled family of vampire hunters, to lead the resistance.

The series is being led by Showrunners Kevin Kolde and Clive Bradley. Bradley also serves as Creator/Writer. Sam Deats and Adam Deats share directing duties. Project 51 Productions and Powerhouse Animation produce for Netflix.
