I'm confused.... Why is it Simon on the cover, if Trevor is the protagonist?

So, the first rumor about MoF featuring BOTH Simon and Trevor was true. Excited to see how it all turns out to be. Yep, let's move on to the MoF thread.

Still, if that's the Simon we're getting for LoS, can't complain. It's like a mixture of all the styles he had been pictured so far.

If that chapter list is even remotely legit, then I'm extremely excited!

My head is spinning from all this LoS2/MoF mixture crap...

Let's clarify here...

WHO is in LoS2? Simon or Trevor?

WHO is in MoF? Simon or Trevor?

WHERE is either confirmed?

My guess is:
MoF: Trevor AND Simon. COnfirmed by Nintendo power.
LoS: Only Simon: Confirmed from original leak.

Also, keep in mind that the original leaked said that Alucard was involved in some way or another, So Alucard =/= Simon :relief:

Thank you kind sir!

I posted my theory a few pages ago in this thread that Simon & Alucard could be brothers. Maybe evil twins? Setting up a pseudo-doppelganger fight? Something like that could be cool.

Phew, so that Simon=Alucard rumor was fake then? So that means Alucard will have a role in this somehow.

Also, might just be me but I think Trevor's coat looks nice.

I hope this does not mean that Simon or Trevor is also "Alucard".

Well if the first leaker was correct(this reveal might give him some validation now), Alucard is a seperate character and is not Trevor or Simon.

This is going to sound harsh, it is not, it's just an observation.

Simon looks cool but I believe MS artists went the Ayami ruote and made him look stylish but not, hm.. practical? Look at those gloves, and of course, the return of the BOA hahahah (Yeah, it's wolf fur, and it's a cape now, it's an improvement but still...) I like the design, very much, like I like almost all Ayami designs (except Simon an juste) but.. it's certainly more of an artistic recreation.

And that's fine, we feared that the new series would get "serious, gritty and realistic"

I'm afraid I have to disappoint you guys. From leak guy:

want to do a bit of BS correcting/damage control.

sorry to disappoint, but the simon subscriber cover is just a special image done to celebrate the legacy of the franchise. he's not in any upcoming games [yet].

that chapter list is fake. LOS2 stars gabriel/dracula and takes place in the present day with flashbacks to the aftermath of LOS's epilogue.

numbered console LOS games will tell the story of gabriel/dracula and his feud with zobek/war with satan, while handheld spin-offs will appeal to traditional fans in that they show the history of the belmont clan and their war with dracula in the past. LOS2~onwards will take place in the present.

one thing that isn't BS though is that alucard is definitely in the cards. stay tuned.
