The short answer is that we don’t know what gamesCastlevania: Nocturnewill take place around. Thanks for reading.BUT!We have some speculations basedon the trailers.
Since Richter Belmont is center-stage inCastlevania Nocturne, that narrows it down to two titles: 1993’sCastlevania: Rondo of Blood(Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo) and 1997’sCastlevania: Symphony of the Night. Those are the only two games that Richter had a prominent role in, and has only made cameos ever since.
However, it seems like the first season is just going to coverCastlevania: Rondo of Blood. The evidence? Not a dhampir in sight.Castlevania: Symphony of the Nightmostly starred Dracula’s half-blooded son, Alucard. He isn’t even hinted at in Netflix’s longest trailer.
Moreover, Richter’s companion fromCastlevania: Rondo of Blood, Maria Renard, is shown in an outfit that is much closer to her original appearance rather than her more adventuresome look inSymphony of the Night.
Our conclusion is thatCastlevania: Nocturneis going to be set aroundCastlevania: Rondo of Blood. That is, at least for the first season. It’s not unfeasible that Netflix will choose to continue on to the plot ofSymphony of the Nightas the show progresses.
