It’s been 40 years since Castlevania first launched and the franchise has brought many memories and helped reshaped the gaming industry. The series has made appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series and their own television series on Netflix. There’s no view of seeing the Castlevania train stopping as Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse was announced, the next entry to the classic franchise. The game is currently in development with Evil Empire studios and Motion Twin collaborating on the project, the same team who worked on Dead Cells, a classic indie game that carries similar formula of the Castlevania series.

About Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse

Over two decades after the events of Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse and the recent animated show, it is in the streets of 15th century Paris that a new chapter of the legendary House Belmont is about to be written in bloody red ink. Armed with a legendary holy whip, the Vampire Killer, Trevor Belmont’s successor – and the game’s protagonist – must descend into the city attacked by monstrous creatures and a looming mystical castle to hunt down the beasts and save the Parisians from eternal darkness.

Castlevania fans will be excited to know that the iconic whip is back to take down foes, uncover secrets, and maneuver around obstacles. Players will have to wait a little longer as the game is still under development and planned to release in 2026 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
