The story so far:

The Mirror of Fate extended trailer reveals Alucard, who has the same voice as Trevor.
Someone asked Cox on Twitter "Is Trevor Alucard?"
Cox answers "no."
Someone asked him again in a dfferent matter, "Does Trevor become Alucard in any way?"
Cox answers "no comment."

Then the screenshot's of Aucard appear using a modified battle cross, wearing the same outfit as Trevor only slightly darker, making the likelyhood of Trevor becoming Alucard being true and once again making Cox look like he got hit in the face with a tomato pie.

Everyone then create's different causes of Trevor's apparent transformation with various theories such as evil doppleganger, Dracula's vampire slave, Gabriel's good side and mind controlled demonic puppet of an unseen entity. While a remaining few have reason to believe the two are seperate characters and Dracula did infact father another child with another woman, suggesting that would be downright absured now with the evidence(or lack there of) presented so far.

The only thing that could debunk all of this is if we hear Alucard speak in game rather than a cryptic vauge trailer. But due to Konami's excellent marketing team, we will most likely not get any new media of the game (other than previews from small websites who played the unfinished E3 demo) until the game comes out in around Febuary/March.

That's it, unless someone has more to add.

Ah, fair enough. Thanks for the help.

I got a strange, stupid theory. Marie had two children. Trevor had a twin brother(was to be named Adrian). However, Adrian was stillborn. Eventually, years later, Trevor faces against his father and is killed. His soul passes on, but Adrian's soul is recalled into Trevor's dead body(making him still undead) and he renames himself Alucard, and plans to get revenge for the death of his mother and twin brother. So, basically, it's Trevor's body, but Adrian's soul/personality, so even if it Trevor's dead body, it's techinically NOT Trevor, but is still technically Dracula/Gabriel's son in his own right.

No, not a strange or stupid theory at all. A twin who died at birth, went to Limbo / Hell since he was unbaptized (which may account for Alucard's character art environment), and was given a second chance at life with the purpose of taking down his father. As Trevor's twin, it would make sense for him to have the same voice. Pretty plausible at this point!
It would fit the dialogue in the trailer, and it would be a shocking twist from the established expectation that Trevor becomes Alucard....

I agree. And it wouldn't be any more outrageous a twist than any that were used in the first game.

What if it's something to do with the mirror of fate? A dark mirror reflection of Trevor? I mean, the mirror is important somehow, right?

That way it can not be Trevor, (because it's Alucard" and also not be Trevor Becoming Alucard, since he doesnt it's a mirror image.

Im still thinking Trevor dies or something though.

Or Cox is lying to us because, well, hes not just gonna say OH YEAH TREVOR BECOMES ALUCARD because he wants to keep us guessing till we see first hand.

That's pretty much what I meant by "wierd doppelganger".

Wouldn't that make him Rovert?

[abaldwin360]

In the extended trailer, you hear the phrase, "It seems fate has given me a second chance father." just as they show Alucard on screen. I think Trevor somehow becomes Alucard.

[jimmay17]

So can I be the first poster here to bandy the phrase 'Alucard In Name Only'?

Originally, this was one of my brightest points of hope with this game, but a whip-yielding re-skin of Trevor? It's as self-defeating and insulting as it is uninspired and lazy.

[Chernabogue]

Alucard can morph into wolf + mist and use hellfire I think.

As far as we know, anyway. Hopefully they haven't decided to implement them in a similar fashion of half-assery as they have the character himself. I wouldn't be too terribly surprised, for instance, to see them used as combo battle-enhancers, i.e. "the power of the wolf/bat/mist" or some other such mediocrity.

Time will tell.

[Kingshango]

Devilcard's confirmed abilities (so far ) are:

Mist: Used to bypass gates and/or dodge attacks

Wolf: Used to transform into a white wolf, possibly used to get into small areas and/or attack enemies

Bat projectile: Shoot bat's out of your hands

Claw: Probably functions like Gabriel's dark gauntlet, charge punch uppercut etc.

Hourglass???: Stop's/slows down time

There's another unknown ability but that's it for now.

Oh and unlike his former living self, Devilcard is unable to double jump for some reason.

[jimmay17]

Don't I look stupid. Where did you get the confirmation from? All I've seen on here is the screenshot showing the icons. Was this new information from Cox's twitter?

[Kingshango]

A combination of both, although the jury is out on a couple things ( the hourglass, claw and the unknown ability) but the mist, wolf and bat abilities have been confirmed by Cox.

He couldn't double jump in Dracula's Curse. :3

[flyingchai]

The ability to turn into mist I'm sure can be used to reach higher places. That would eliminate the need for a double jump.
