Whip Into Action in the New ‘Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse’ Gameplay Trailer [Watch]
Motion Twin and Evil Empire have dropped a bit of news for their upcoming Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse in the form of a new gameplay trailer, featuring commentary from Motion Twin. The trailer gives fans a look at some of the game’s combat and locales, including of all things, a boss fight with Joan of Arc.
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse takes place in Paris in 1499, set 23 years after Castlevania: Dracula’s Curse. Paris is engulfed in flames as monstrous creatures suddenly emerge from the shadows. Armed with the legendary holy whip, the Vampire Killer, Trevor Belmont’s successor ventures into the burning streets and the looming castle to hunt down the beasts.
The whip is not the only tool at your disposal. In addition to your sword, sword, as players move through Paris toward Dracula’s castle, they’ll unlock new tools and powers to better aid them in the fight against Dracula and his minions.
True to the roots of the series, you will encounter colorful characters and powerful foes, stumble upon many secret chambers, dig up numerous hidden items, and whip your way through challenging areas.
Due out later this year for PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse also marks the series’ 40th anniversary later this year.
Developer Harebrained Scheme gave those eager to check out their upcoming survival horror RPG GRAFT some much-welcomed meat in the form of a new story trailer. The trailer not only touches on the body horror aspect of the game, but also the relationship you share with someone you care about, and the potential consequences you face on your journey through structure known as The Arc.
Currently in development for release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, GRAFT sees you attempting to escape the aforementioned rotting space station. The Arc is a continent-sized station that was once filled with biomechanically enhanced citizens, all working toward some greater purpose lost to time. Now the station is in ruins, its citizens now unrecognizable. And you have no idea how you got here.
In order to escape, you must tear pieces from your enemies to transform yourself into something new—something capable of surviving the horrors that prowl around you. Every Graft brings with it some piece of its previous owner’s identity, changing more than just your physical body.
However, you are not the only survivor in the desolation. Ancient feral experiments, strange abominations, and ruthless agents of a mad AI stalk you. You must use the tools in your growing arsenal as you fight through the horrors in a visceral new twist on classic survival horror combat. Know when to fight, and manage your resources carefully in order to escape alive.
