"Konami is looking to kick some vampiric ass as they announced the resurrection of Castlevania at Sony's recent State of Play, and it's only the beginning. Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is the first brand-new entry in the series in over a decade, and it is being developed by Evil Empire, the team behind Dead Cells (heavily Castlevania inspired) and The Rogue Prince of Persia. It's also being developed by Motion Twin, who also worked on Dead Cells."
"It will launch on PS5, Xbox Series S/X, PC and Switch. Although The game stars a red-headed female described as the successor Trevor Belmont and wielding Vampire Killer, the classic whip. The new art-style is gorgeous, both invoking the classic Castlevania vibe and yet giving it a cool new spin. Gameplay looks smooth, snappy and, importantly, fun. So far, fan reception seems good, and you won't have to wait long to play it either as it does have a 2026 release date."
"But that's not all because Konami also announced that they have more plans for the series 40th anniversary which will be celebrated later this year. In a post, Konamia states, "In this commemorative year, Castlevania will be revived." "This is the beginning of numerous new products around Castlevania," promises Konami. Note that they do say "products", meaning it could be anything from games to movies to books to comics to anime."
