Belmont’s Curse signals Castlevania revival, with Dead Cells studio guiding the comeback

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, unveiled during PlayStation State of Play, is a new game co-developed by Konami, Evil Empire, and Motion Twin (the Dead Cells devs). Set in 1499 Paris, it follows a Trevor Belmont’s successor wielding the Vampire Killer whip as she hunts monsters, with a PC release planned for 2026. Konami says this is the first step in a broader Castlevania revival tied to the series’ 40th anniversary, and fans speculate the lead may be Belmont’s daughter.
