The developers behind Castlevania: Belmont\u2019s Curse are enthusiastic about all the \u201chorny\u201d fanart they\u2019ve seen of the game\u2019s characters, saying they specifically made them “hot” to appeal to fans.<\/p>\n

Castlevania: Belmont\u2019s Curse<\/u><\/a> released on October 15, and you\u2019ve no doubt already seen the wealth of wild reactions to the title from players online \u2014 particularly in regards to its character designs.<\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s true; players are thirsty for Trevor Belmont and the various monsters they must fight as they navigate the chaotic streets of Paris, but they shouldn\u2019t feel embarrassed about it. In fact, the devs were counting on this to happen.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Speaking with Fall Damage<\/u><\/a>, marketing director and lead designer B\u00e9renger Dupr\u00e9 and Sandro Bordier revealed that they are absolutely loving the thirsty reactions to the game\u2019s characters \u2014 and that includes the \u201chorny\u201d fanart that they\u2019ve seen on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, it has started already. Like, man, have we seen some things,\u201d Bordier joked. <\/p>\n

\u201cTrevor, especially,\u201d Dupr\u00e9 added. \u201cDidn\u2019t realize that he would be so well-received.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think we could add a \u2018Hot Dads Edition?\u2019\u201d Bourdier asked, prompting Dupr\u00e9 to say that there \u201cshould be a Game Award for hot dads.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always fun to see the fanart, because we know how important and dear these characters are to the fans. We are trying to make some new, fresh stories with them, so it\u2019s always quite stressful. And for now, the reception is very, very emotional,\u201d Dupr\u00e9 continued.<\/p>\n

The duo went on to admit that they went out of their way to make these characters attractive, with Boudier saying, \u201cYes, like we know some characters are hot. It\u2019s a choice, actually. Like it\u2019s a vibe. We\u2019re pretty proud of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, we were super happy with all the fan reactions regarding the characters that were revealed,\u201d he added. \u201cWe really put a lot of love from the team to design them in a way that would please fans. We were super happy to see how they reacted to the designs and the voice actor reveals, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Castlevania: Belmont\u2019s Curse released to solid reviews, with IGN\u2019s Scott White scoring the game an eight out of ten<\/a>, praising it for \u201cbringing Konami\u2019s beloved series into the modern era with a fast-paced focus on action first.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that a lot of love went into this title; among the various Easter Eggs and secret codes<\/a> found within, the devs also paid homage to classic fighting game characters<\/a>, which can be seen if players nab a hidden weapon in one of the game\u2019s first areas.<\/p>\n
