A playable demo of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is now available for PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™, XBOX Series X|S, and Steam®. Players can try the first levels of the game before its official release on October 15, 2026. Progress made in the demo can be transferred to the full version when it launches, but the demo and full game must be played on the same platform and account. Players must keep their demo save data to transfer progress. Some features and content may be limited in the demo, and the full game must be updated to the latest version before transferring save data. Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is a 2D action and exploration game developed by KONAMI, Evil Empire, and Motion Twin. The story is set in Paris in 1499, 23 years after the events of Castlevania III, a well-known entry in the series. Rose Belmont, the daughter of Trevor Belmont—who famously defeated the vampire Dracula—embarks on a journey to fight monsters. She explores the burning streets of Paris and Dracula’s castle, using a variety of weapons and skills, including the sacred whip known as "Vampire Killer." Pre-orders for both physical and digital editions of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse are now open. The Midnight edition, available in both digital and physical formats, includes special content such as alternate costumes for Rose Belmont, a digital gallery featuring music and illustrations, and an in-game relic item. Anyone who pre-orders or pre-buys any edition of the game will also receive an additional Alucard-style costume for Rose Belmont. The game continues the long-running Castlevania franchise, which has been popular for decades with its mix of action, adventure, and vampire-themed storytelling. Fans of the series are eagerly awaiting the release, with the demo offering a chance to experience the game’s gameplay and setting before the full version becomes available.
