We’re still a month out from the release of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, but Konami and co-developers Evil Empire and Motion Twin are keeping the game in mind for fans, releasing a new trailer, appropriately titled “Bloody Tears.” Featuring a new rendition of the classic track, the trailer mixes in gameplay with bits and pieces of exposition for new protagonist Rose as she ventures into Dracula’s castle.
Paris 1499, Belmont’s Curse sees the city engulfed in flames as monstrous creatures suddenly emerge from the shadows. Trevor Belmont, the hero who defeated Dracula, ventures into the burning streets with his daughter, Rose Belmont. Armed with the legendary holy whip, the Vampire Killer, they hunt down the beasts bleeding from the looming castle. Rose is soon swept up in the dark conspiracy that lurks beneath. Will she succeed in saving Paris from devastation?
In addition to the Vampire Killer, Rose will have access to the Arcana System. After defeating bosses, including the likes of Medusa, Carmilla and Joan of Arc (?!), the bosses are sealed into Rose’s tarot cards, turning them into Arcana. Players can then use the bosses’ skills to cast spells and obtain unique special actions.
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, will launch October 15 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. The Nintendo Switch version will arrive “later in 2026.”
