Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Story, Timeline and Voice Cast

At a glance

Belmont's Curse is set in Paris in 1499, twenty-three years after Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, and stars Rose Belmont, daughter of Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades. KONAMI's official character page names the main cast and the bosses and lists their voice actors, which is the most reliable source for who is who.

Setting and timeline

The pitch KONAMI uses is a Paris engulfed by monsters with a castle looming over it. Trevor Belmont, the hero who defeated Dracula, travels into the burning streets with his daughter Rose, and they are separated early — Trevor goes after the clergy while Rose works through the city. Rose carries Dracula's curse in her right arm. The game's framing is the growth of Rose as a hunter, alongside her father rather than instead of him.

Main characters and cast

Boss characters and cast

KONAMI's own descriptions are worth reading closely for two of them. Isaac is "a devil forgemaster who creates and commands demons" with a history with Trevor going back twenty years, and Death is Dracula's right-hand man. Both connect this game to earlier Castlevania entries rather than restarting the lore.

Its link to Dracula's Curse

Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse is the anchor. Belmont's Curse takes place twenty-three years after it, drops you into the next generation of the same family, and reuses characters and references from the series rather than rebooting them. If you know Trevor and Sypha from the older game, this is their household a generation on — not a retelling of their story.

The Netflix connection

This is the question that causes the most confusion, so it is worth being precise. Rose's parents — Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades — are the leads of the Netflix animated Castlevania series. Belmont's Curse picks up one generation later in the same family line. But the game and the show are separate stories: Konami and Evil Empire have not presented the game as continuing the show's plot, and the game's own characters and events are not the show's. "Same bloodline, different story" is the accurate summary.

What is not confirmed

• Speculation about a returning non-canon character. Fans have discussed whether a character resembling Sonia Belmont — a series character set aside from canon long ago — appears. KONAMI's character page does not name her, so this is speculation rather than a confirmed return.
• The wider family tree. Details beyond Rose's immediate parents are not set out by KONAMI.
• Any story DLC. None announced.
