Return to the legendary gothic action series in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, the first brand-new mainline Castlevania title in over a decade, celebrating the franchise's 40th anniversary with a classic 2D action-exploration adventure developed by KONAMI alongside Evil Empire and Motion Twin.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse marks the long-awaited return of KONAMI's iconic vampire-hunting franchise. Set in 1499, twenty-three years after the events of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, the story follows a new descendant of the Belmont clan as demonic forces descend upon medieval Paris and a mysterious castle emerges at the heart of the city.

Armed with the legendary Vampire Killer whip, players must battle nightmarish creatures, uncover hidden secrets, and confront powerful bosses inspired by folklore and gothic horror. Developed by Evil Empire and Motion Twin in collaboration with KONAMI, Belmont's Curse blends the exploration-focused design of beloved Metroidvania entries with modern visuals, fluid combat, and expansive interconnected environments. As the first new mainline Castlevania game since 2014, it serves as a major revival of one of gaming's most influential action franchises.
