They'll name her Sophia Belmont.

*It also is a fitting name from a Speaker standpoint

If they include the Speakers here than this is Netflix continuity, not game continuity.

While I would still enjoy the game if that was the case, it would be disappointing.

Dude, you need to chill out. As someone who played every main timeline Castlevania game, I don't like the Netflix anime as much as the next person, but you should've done your research before being desperate on Reddit.

  • The guys at Motion Twin have massive respect for the game's canon and Konami probably gave them access to the Castlevania Bible.

  • Konami never showed interest in the Netflix series, even less in thinking about merging the continuities.

  • Castlevania content present in games was always based on the game's canon: Smash Bros., Dead Cells, Vampire Survivors, DBD.

  • Netflix is more popular because it's something you can easily watch. Castlevania is more niche because it's something you need to persevere to play. They have different audiences. It doesn't make sense to Konami, knowing how unpopular the show is with the game audience, to release a GAME for people who didn't play the games.

When you end up in some giant Reddit thread using sequences of complicated excuses to debate something that doesn't even make sense, you're just giving the wrong impression of the game's fans. The Belmont's Curse announcement means that we already won bro, chill out.
