A New Chapter in the Castlevania Saga
Set twenty-three years after the events of Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is the latest installment in the long-beloved horror-action franchise published by Konami and developed by Evil Empire. Taking up the whip as Rose Belmont—daughter of legendary heroes Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades—players explore medieval Paris in a reimagined 2D Metroidvania that captures the dark, gothic essence of the franchise in a way that hasn't been felt in years.
Evil Empire has been working on Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse around the clock to blend the deliberate combat and iconic whip mechanics of classic Castlevania with the modern non-linear exploration, gear customization, and intense boss battles pioneered by entries like Symphony of the Night. Scheduled to launch in October 2026, the game is perfectly timed to capitalize on the 40th anniversary of the Castlevania series’ inception.
