Why it matters

Konami commissioned Evil Empire after liking the studio's Dead Cells crossover enough to want a full game, making this the first console Castlevania since 2014.

About Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

Konami's first new console Castlevania in more than a decade is being made by Evil Empire, the French studio that spent years expanding Dead Cells and built its Castlevania crossover. Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is a two-dimensional side-scroller and a direct sequel to Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, which plants it firmly in the Belmont family line rather than the branch the series took with Symphony of the Night. The commission came after Konami liked the crossover work enough to want a full game out of the same team.

It launches on October 15, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with a Nintendo Switch version following later in the year. Two things narrow the pitch. The standard edition is priced at $29.99 rather than as a full retail release, and the design follows the classic stage-based template, sub-weapons and all, instead of the exploration-heavy map structure the series adopted in 1997.
