Castlevania: Belmont's Curse released on , PS5, |S, and PC. With the release comes a new take on the series. Specifically, the devs made a conscious decision to create characters that are hot.

Developers intentionally designed attractive characters for the new release

The anticipation is high for how fans will react and it is changing the game's aesthetic. You will likely see this in the characters and in promo artwork.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse was made by Evil Empire. A key part of the focus here was aesthetics for characters. The team wanted to create a vibe that appeals to contemporary gamers.

We know this because Lead Designer Sandro Bordier and Marketing Director Berenger Dupre say there is already fan art of characters in suggestive poses. That shows that there is a level of immersion in developer reaction to the reception from the start.

As far as the character Trevor Belmont is concerned, the new rugged look was a major positive. It's clear that fans are loving the new look. That's exactly what the devs wanted.

The team is proud of the characters and the emotional reaction of fans. It's a key character that's important for the game's look.

'Yes, like we know some characters are hot,' says Lead Designer Sandro Bordier. 'It's a choice actually. Like it's a vibe. We're pretty proud of it.' 'There should be a Game Awards for hot dads,' says Marketing Director Berenger Dupre.

It's clear they're proud of their artistic direction. They are unashamedly embracing the hotness of the characters. There's no holding back on the intention.
