2007 Nintendo DS Title ‘Dementium: The Ward’ Headed to Steam
Developer Atooi is reaching back to bring PC gamers a blast from the past with the Nintendo DS game Dementium: The Ward. Announced on X, there’s no release date as of yet (other than “soon”, according to Atooi), but you can wishlist the game now on Steam.
Originally released on the Nintendo DS way back in 2007 by developer Renegade Kid, Dementium: The Ward will apparently be “remastered” for the Steam release, with “enhanced visuals, smoother controls, and the same relentless atmosphere that made it infamous.” Most likely, this will be the port that originally appeared on the PlayStation last year.
The story sees players step into the shoes of William Redmoor, who wakes up alone in a derelict hospital with no memory of how he got there. William soon discovers that he’s not alone in the hospital, as grotesque creatures roam the hall. While battling said creatures with nothing but improvised weapons and your wits, you’ll unravel the mystery of just how William ended up in the hospital.
You can also find Dementium: The Ward on the Nintendo Switch, as well as the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

The Nintendo Switch version will arrive “later in 2026.”

Pre-ordering either edition will earn players an Alucard costume.
Taking place in Paris, 1499, Belmont’s Curse will see Trevor Belmont’s and his daughter, Rose Belmont (as opposed to what Sony initially “revealed”), take on Dracula’s foes.
Paris is 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.
Players will also be able to customize Rose’s battle style by using a variety of equipment, including weapons spanning seven distinct categories and Relics that trigger powerful effects through both offense and defense.
