The HD update tells the story of Gabriel Belmont’s descendants Simon and Trevor Belmont as they battle their own destiny, only to discover their true, shocking fate. Trevor Belmont, a knight of the Brotherhood of Light, sets out to avenge the death of his mother by his father, who has returned from years of exile to take up residence in a mysterious castle. The powerful figure that was once Gabriel Belmont now stands as Dracula, a powerful vampire. Dracula has declared war upon the Brotherhood, and thus the scene is set for an epic showdown between father and son.
