Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is getting roasted over the difference between its promo art and the actual in-game models.
The character looks great in the promotional artwork, then you see the in-game version and… yeah, the difference is pretty noticeable.
Fans are joking with “burger in the ad vs. the burger on your plate”
The developers have said they’re proud of the character designs, but the female characters designs are not near appealing as older games
The Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse devs knew exactly what they were doing with the character designs.
Lead Designer Sandro Bordier admitted the team deliberately made some of the characters attractive:
“Yes, like we know some characters are hot. It’s a choice, actually. Like it’s a vibe. We’re pretty proud of it.”
And when asked about fans making “horny fan art,” he basically said they saw it coming, and it had already started.
Marketing Director Bérenger Dupré even joked that there should be a “Game Awards for hot dads” because of the reaction to Trevor Belmont.
The devs are just happy people are enjoying the designs.
