Richter: Die monster! You don't belong in this world!

Dracula: It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wish to pay me tribute.

Richter: Tribute? You steal men's souls and make them your slaves!

Dracula: Perhaps the same can be said of all religions.

Richter: Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you?

Dracula: What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets? But enough talk, have at you!

It was Richter Belmont, the legendary vampire hunter, who succeeded in finally ending the menace of Count Dracula, Lord of the Vampires who had been brought back from the grave by the dark priest Shaft.

However, one night 4 years later, under the glare of a full moon, Richter mysteriously vanished.

With no idea of where to begin her search, Maria Renard set out to look for him. It was then that fate intervened.

Castlevania, the castle of Dracula, which is rumored to appear once every century, suddenly materialized from out of the mist as if to show her the way.

Meanwhile, powerful forces were struggling for the soul of a man named Alucard. The very same Alucard who had teamed up with Trevor Belmont to battle his immortal father, Count Vlad Tepes Dracula.

Alucard, in order to purge the world of his own cursed blood line, had submerged his vampiric powers and entered into was supposed to be an eternal slumber. But now, he is awake and aware of the evil once again at work in his homeland.

This time has once again come for the forces of Good and Evil to engage in their ancient battle. Dracula's castle beckons you.

And no man can say who shall emerge victorious.


Alucard runs towards the castle, jumps over the gate as it's about to close and runs through the door as it shuts behind him.
