In just a few short weeks, we’ll see the return of the legendary Castlevania franchise with Belmont’s Curse, coming to us from Evil Empire and Motion Twin. But before then, players will get a taste of what’s to come from the latest Konami adventure.
The official Castlevania X account has confirmed that a playable demo of Belmont’s Curse will launch on all consoles and PC on October 1, two weeks before the game arrives on October 15! What’s more, save data from the demo will carry over to the full game, so you won’t have to worry about starting over. Whew.
Belmont’s Curse will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, giving players plenty of options for experiencing the latest chapter in the legendary franchise.
Here’s a synopsis of the game, just in case you missed it:
