Recently, Konami released a special message celebrating the 40th anniversary of Castlevania, confirming that the game is “the beginning of numerous new projects” for the series. It made the original Castlevania game available for free on mobile, though only until October 24.
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse will release on October 15 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. A demo will release for all platforms on October 1 with save data that can be transferred to the main game. In addition, we had the opportunity to preview Belmont’s Curse during Gamescom 2026, where we observed the game’s potential to be one of the best Metroidvanias to date. Lastly, the Steam store page provides this description:
