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.
