Considered as one of the best video game adaptations to hit the small screen, Castlevania Season 1 on Netflix was only 4 episodes long, but was breath taking in every way. From its visuals, to the story it adopted and the introduction of various characters from the different Castlevania timelines, it was a wet dream for fans of the franchise. Now, Netflix is ready to give you more. The new Castlevania Season 2 trailer not only wets your appetite for the show but also gives a brief recap of season 1 to bring noobs up to speed. Season 2 will hit Netflix on October 28.
Dracula is pissed because humans murdered his wife and is on a human killing spree with his army of monsters. It is up to his son, Alucard (Dracula spelt backwards) and Trevor Belmont along with help from the magical Sypha Belnades to stop him.
Castlevania is considered a genre defining game in the world of video games. So much so that Metroid and Castlevania have an entire genre of games named after them conveniently titled Metroidvania. Castlevania has been in the world of gaming ever since the days of the NES. For me personally, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on the original PlayStation and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for the PS3 and Xbox 360 are the best of the franchise.
