The teaser revealed that the series will feature numerous references that fans of the games will immediately recognize, as well as a soundtrack heavily inspired by classic Castlevania .

The film is produced by Adi Shankar (Dredd, The Grey) and is scheduled to premiere on July 7th. Director Shankar based the story on the game Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, distributed in Japan by Konami in 1989.

Synopsis of Castlevania:

The story takes place in 1476, when Dracula dominates all of Europe. Three important characters can join Trevor on his mission: Sypha Belnades, a young priestess with various magical powers who disguises herself as a man until the end of the game; Grant DaNasty, an agile pirate with the ability to climb walls and ceilings; and finally Alucard, Dracula's son, a dhampir with the abilities to shoot fireballs and transform into a bat. The game's ending varies depending on which character helps Trevor destroy Dracula.

Finally, the work would have a "dark and satirical" tone, influenced by anime such as Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Ninja Scroll.
