Netflix's hit Castlevania series has returned bringing with it a flurry of speculation regarding one plot-point in particular: the Infinite Corridor and it's potential for a possible cinematic gaming multiverse. Visions of very out of place realities within the episode the Corridor appears in could signal that Producer Adi Shankar's promised, "Bootleg Multiverse," has finally arrived.

The series, based on the video game franchise from Konami and written by Warren Ellis, introduces the Infinite Corridor in Season 3, Episode 6, “The Good Dream,” during which Count Saint Germain recalls his voyage through the portal. The magician stops at various points of the neon wormhole that would fit well within the lyrics of a Rush album to peer through what appears to be time and space, capturing glimpses of wild alternate realities.

In one, an enormous bipedal robot runs across a barren desert, while in another, a spacecraft lifts off toward a sky filled with the shattered remnants of a broken moon. Could these be visions of future video game series, such as the long-awaited Assassin's Creed and Devil May Cry adaptations?

The Infinite Corridor: A Gateway Into Limitless Dimensions?

Saint Germain reveals to Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades that the Infinite Corridor itself is essentially limitless in it's linkage to other dimensions, and given Shankar's knack for exploring untouched "what if" scenarios for other franchises in his established Bootleg Universe, Easter eggs regarding his spin-off such projects would not be surprising in Castlevania. In fact, there is one hiding in plain sight.

In 2018, Shankar announced that he had acquired the rights to produce a Devil May Cry anime based on the popular Capcom video game franchise, and in Castlevania, Season 3, Episode 8, "What the Night Brings," there exists an albeit brief cameo from Dante himself -- well, his sword (spotted by a Reddit user).

Shankar told IGN in 2018 that Devil May Cry "will join Castlevania in what we’re now calling the bootleg multiverse," but nothing Saint Germain witnesses in his memory of his Infinite Corridor visit is reminiscent of DmC, so the actual crossover may have to wait for Season 4.

Is Shankar's "Bootleg Multiverse" Taking Shape?

With his knack for further exploring pop franchises and his self-admitted devotion to doing video game adaptations justice and doing right by fans, Shankar has attached himself to several franchises to realize his multiversal dream.

Shankar will produce a multiverse of Ubisoft properties, including an adaptation of the Far Cry 3 expansion, Blood Dragon, dubbed Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Vibe, which will be in the same universe as the ongoing Netflix/Nickelodeon series, Rabbids Invasion. A series based on the Rayman franchise is in the works as well.

Ubisoft's most iconic series, Assassin's Creed, is also in development. In 2017, Shankar announced via Facebook that the franchise would be his next project.

One vision from the Infinite Corridor, in particular, could relate to Assassin's Creed, with perhaps a bit of a Blood Dragon vibe. As a hole opens in the portal, Germain is given a glimpse of what appears to be a futuristic empire replete with pyramids cast in tech-purple and donned with gold trim, which makes up an apparent capital city. A group of eight run across a bridge, vibrant tails in their wake.

Germain then is shown Uluru/Ayers Rock in the Northern Territory of central Australia where an Aboriginal man can apparently see him. The man seemingly closes the portal while watching the flabbergasted Germain.

His final vision is perhaps what he was after the entire time -- the silhouette of a woman in what appears to be a constantly moving library who gives to him the stone which allows him to find portals to the Infinite Corridor.

Whether these final visions are references to yet-to-be-announced properties or are simply visions contained within Castlevania's lore are unclear. When Germain awakens, the only other time we are given a glimpse inside the Infinite Corridor is in the finale on a tour of hell.

No Time like the Present for a Multiverse

With the wild success of Castlevania, Shankar's projects could see the light of day sooner rather than later. Alongside the success of live-action video game adaptations such as Netflix's The Witcher and the recently announced upcoming HBO adaptation of The Last of Us, Shankar and Ellis's Castlevania could be the catalyst that sparks an animated video game revolution. Until then, uncovering the truths revealed within the Infinite Corridor will suit to bide the time.

Castlevania Season 3 is currently streaming on Netflix. It stars Richard Armitage as Trevor Belmont, Alejandra Reynoso as Sypha Belnades, James Callis as Alucard and Graham McTavish as Dracula.
