Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Demo Arrives Just in Time for October
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Evil Empire is releasing a playable demo for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse on October 1, letting players carry their progress over to the full October 14 launch across PC and consoles.
Ghost and ghoul season is coming early for platformer fans. Developer Evil Empire, the studio behind Dead Cells and The Rogue Prince of Persia, announced that a playable demo for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse will drop on October 1. The demo will be available across Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, giving players a chance to tackle the entire opening chapter just two weeks ahead of the full launch on October 14.
Progress made during the demo will carry over to the main game, meaning your early efforts will not go to waste. According to technical targets reported by Eurogamer, the game will run at a smooth 60 frames per second on PC and current gen consoles, while the Switch version will target 30 frames per second. Early previews suggest the title is a sharp blend of classic action platforming and modern design sensibilities, making it one of the most anticipated releases of the autumn window.
This project marks the beginning of a broader revitalization for Konami's legendary franchise, following the massive cultural momentum generated by the Netflix animated series. As players continue to embrace strong single player experiences across console and PC ecosystems, Belmont's Curse looks poised to deliver a modern gothic fix while Konami carefully builds out its wider revival plans alongside horror stablemates like Silent Hill.
