Konami places the story in 15th-century Paris, more than two decades after Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and the recent animated show. The game opens another bloody chapter for House Belmont.
Trevor Belmont's successor serves as the protagonist and wields the legendary holy whip, Vampire Killer. With monstrous creatures attacking Paris and a mystical castle looming, the hero must hunt the beasts and save Parisians from eternal darkness.
Veteran fans and newcomers must master a range of weapons and spells to fight their enemies. Exploration rewards players willing to search every corner of the sinister castle.
Belmont's Curse marks the franchise's first entirely new game since 2014's Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.
Konami released Castlevania Dominus Collection in August 2024 for Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam. It contains three Nintendo DS entries:
- Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
- Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
- Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
The collection also includes Haunted Castle, the first original Castlevania arcade game, and its reimagining, Haunted Castle Revisited.
Castlevania: Nocturne debuted in September 2023 as a spinoff of Frederator Studios' Castlevania animated show. It stars Richter Belmont, a descendant of original-series protagonists Sypha and Trevor, alongside Maria Renard.
Set in France during the French Revolution in 1792, Nocturne tells Richter's origin story. Its second season premiered in January 2025.
Evil Empire and Motion Twin, the sister developers behind the sidescrolling roguelike Dead Cells, are developing Belmont's Curse. Evil Empire serves as the main studio, with Motion Twin advising.
