Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse Launches This October with New Gameplay Trailer

The highly anticipated 2D action title Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse finally has a release date. Developed by the creative minds behind the acclaimed Dead Cells—Evil Empire and Motion Twin—in collaboration with Konami, this new entry in the legendary franchise is slated to arrive on October 15, 2026. Players can look forward to diving into the gothic action on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Serving as a prequel, the story takes place 23 years before the events of the 1989 NES classic Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse. In this installment, players assume the role of a brand-new Belmont protagonist, wielding the iconic Vampire Killer whip against a host of grotesque, supernatural monstrosities. Given the pedigree of the developers, it comes as no surprise that the latest gameplay reveal showcases fluid, high-octane 2D action that honors the series’ roots while feeling undeniably modern.
