What We Know About Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse
First revealed at the February 2026 Sony PlayStation State of Play presentation, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse was among the titles Konami announced to celebrate the franchise’s 40th anniversary.
At the June 2026 XBOX Showcase, it was announced that the game will officially release on October 15. This means players will be able to experience the demo two weeks ahead of time.
