Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse Launches Thursday With Two Named Casts. Liam O’Brien Is Back as Isaac After 20 Years
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse launches on Thursday, 15 October, with two full voice casts. The English one brings back Graham McTavish and Alejandra Reynoso from the Netflix series, and Liam O’Brien as Isaac, a role he first played in 2005.
Konami and the studios Evil Empire and Motion Twin, the team behind Dead Cells, release the game on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Before the doors open, Konami has already named every performer on both sides of the language divide. This is a launch-eve look at who they are, which of them have been here before, and what the studio has and has not said.
Two casts, both named
The English cast was revealed in a Konami trailer on 24 August. Abby Trott voices the new lead, Rose Belmont, and JB Blanc voices Trevor Belmont. Ray Chase is The Fallen, Erica Lindbeck is Joan of Arc, Melique Berger is Medusa, Dawn M. Bennett is Carmilla and Aaron LaPlante is Death.

The Japanese cast was published earlier, in June. According to RPG Site, Yui Ishikawa voices Rose, Ryotaro Okiayu is Trevor, Naoya Uchida is Count Dracula, Nobutoshi Canna is The Fallen, Hana Takeda is Joan of Arc, Aiko Okubo is Medusa, Moriya Endo is Isaac, Mie Sonozaki is Carmilla and Satoshi Tsuruoka is Death.
VoiceEditSuiteNewAuto Clean Up now learns how you breathe.Learns from numbers, never your audio. Never used to train AI.See how it worksSide by side, the two lists are almost the same size: ten named English performers and nine named Japanese ones, with the Japanese list RPG Site printed carrying no Sypha. The English cast was named about seven weeks before launch, and the Japanese cast about four months before. For an actor, being named that early means the credit is public long before anyone has played the game.
The voices that come back
The English list leans on history. Graham McTavish plays Dracula, as he did through the Netflix animated series, and Alejandra Reynoso returns as Sypha Belnades from the same show. Liam O’Brien goes back further. GoSuGamers notes he voices Isaac, the Devil Forgemaster, a role he first played in 2005’s Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, more than 20 years after that game’s release.
Abby Trott arrives as the newcomer to the family. GoSuGamers lists her earlier work as Annette in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Gwen in League of Legends and Nezuko in the English dub of Demon Slayer. Her lead role puts her at the front of a cast in which three people already know their characters well.

How Konami showed the cast
The cast trailer is built like a roll call. Each actor appears in a recording booth, headphones on, beside a tarot-style card of the character they play, with their name and role printed underneath. McTavish gets his own card at the end, introduced by an “And” before his name. The trailer closes on the title and the launch date.
The order is its own small story. Trott comes first, then Blanc, Reynoso, Chase, Lindbeck, Berger, Bennett and LaPlante, then O’Brien, and McTavish last. Putting the Netflix Dracula at the end of the roll call reads like a nod to fans who watched the show.

That format matters to working actors for a plain reason. Every performer is shown in the act of performing, with a credit that is easy to read and easy to screenshot. It is the kind of exposure that tends to follow a performer to the next audition. It also gives fans a face to put to each voice, which is rarer than it sounds when a game’s cast is usually just a list of names in the credits.
Paris, in the fifteenth century
The story is set in Paris. Konami describes it this way: “Over two decades after the events of Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse and the recent animated show, it is in the streets of 15th century Paris that a new chapter of the legendary House Belmont is about to be written in bloody red ink.” The game itself is a side-scrolling action title, built by the same studios that made Dead Cells. Between the name cards, the trailer cuts to short bursts of play: a fighter working through a lamplit, ruined street, an icy blue chamber and a giant clock face.
What we could not find
None of the outlets we read quotes the actors directly about their roles. Reports also differ on the Nintendo Switch version: some list it for launch day and RPG Site says it follows later, so we have left it out. So this story sticks to what has been published: who plays whom, in which language, and who has played the parts before. If any of the performers speak about Belmont’s Curse on launch day, Voice Over Herald will pick it up.
