Evil Empire, Motion Twin, and Konami will not give special treatment to those playing the new Castlevania on other platforms.

In medieval Paris, tolling bells signal the end. In 1499, the city is engulfed in flames as monstrous creatures emerge from the shadows. Armed with the legendary holy whip, the Vampire Killer, Trevor Belmont’s successor ventures into the burning streets and looming castle to hunt down the beasts. Can he save the city from destruction?

The iconic whip is now more important than ever! Crack your whip to move around freely like a trapeze artist. Master the whip’s mechanics, get creative, and pounce on your prey in fast-paced combat! The whip is not the only tool at your disposal. You must plan your next move strategically and make full use of all the weapons and abilities to stand a chance! Biomes are packed with secrets, traps, and puzzles. It’s not just about muscles; it’s about brains, too!

Building on the classic Gothic style of the series, the unique, colorful art style lets you experience the world of Castlevania like never before. True to the series’ roots, you will encounter colorful characters and powerful foes, stumble upon secret chambers, dig up hidden items, and fight your way through challenging areas.

We already knew that Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse was coming to the Nintendo Switch, but it wasn’t clear when. According to an announcement from Castlevania’s Japanese Twitter account, however, it will be released on October 15. This means it will launch on the Switch at the same time as on the other target platforms—a fair multiplatform release, especially since the Switch (2) usually tends to be at a disadvantage.

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse will be released on October 15 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
