After confirming that there would be no more episodes of the main series last year, Netflix finally dropped its first official look at Castlevania: Nocturne as part of Geeked Week.
In an announcement, the platform shared a glimpse of Nocturne's protagonist, Richter, confirming that the upcoming spin-off will focus on another one of the game's prominent characters.

While Trevor is regarded as the main hero of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and the Pachislot Akumajō Dracula trilogy, Richter is the chief protagonist of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
