'This was our first chance to do a refresh.'
The Big Picture Even though Castlevania: Nocturne takes place in the same universe as Castlevania, the spin-off series has a distinct style that silently informs viewers that this is a different show – and also a different era: The story takes place over 300 years after the events of the flagship series.
During the interview with series creator Clive Bradley, duo of directors Sam and Adam Deats and co-showrunner and executive producer Kevin Kolde, the group talked about character design, animation and being able to take the story and visuals a step further than they did with the four seasons of Castlevania.
"I was particularly excited about an opportunity to refresh the artistic side of it — the visual side of it. When you're doing multiple seasons, even though we tried to level up the designs and the artwork and the animation, we obviously had to stick to the molds that we were working with. This was our first chance to do a refresh and polish the base foundation for the character-design style and everything in a way that we were wanting to do for a long time.
'Castlevania: Nocturne' — With New Powers Come New Responsibilities The director then proceeded to talk about being able to work with a new set of characters led by Richter Belmont . Deats revealed that one of the best things of getting a new team together was the opportunity "to do new action set pieces with new powers and abilities.
Castlevania: Nocturne centers around a vampire outbreak in Europe during the French Revolution, and its indication that a Vampire Messiah is on the way to take over the country. In order to prevent the threat, Richter Belmont and his whip band together with Annette, Tera and Maria Renard to fight the vampire and evil creatures’ horde.
