Released on October 15, 2026, the 2D action game Castlevania: Belmont's Curse marks the first standalone entry in the series since 2014. Set 23 years after the events of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, the story follows Rose Belmont, the daughter of Trevor Belmont.
The game features exploration-based mechanics and deep action systems. While some players praise the return of the classic 2D formula and its performance on various PC hardware, others criticize the game's balance, describing it as leaning too heavily into "die-game" difficulty. Additionally, some users expressed frustration with the frequent use of whip-based gimmicks.
Reception remains divided, with Steam reviews currently sitting at "Mixed" as of October 15, 2026. Conversely, the PlayStation 5 version holds a Metacritic score of 85, comparable to the 85 points earned by Order of Ecclesia.
Despite the mixed user sentiment, the title achieved a record-breaking 17,896 concurrent players on Steam, the highest for the franchise on the platform. The game is currently available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
