Konami has released a new trailer for the upcoming video game Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, confirming a release window of 2026. The trailer showcases the game's signature gothic action and whip-based combat, set against detailed environments inspired by French architecture and locales.
The release marks a significant return for the mainline Castlevania series. If it launches in 2026, it will be the first new core entry in over 14 years, following 2014's Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.
Developed by Konami, the game appears to be a new chapter in the long-running franchise, which has seen numerous spin-offs and a popular Netflix animated series in recent years. The trailer highlights a mix of exploration, platforming, and intense boss battles characteristic of the series.
Further details on specific gameplay mechanics, platforms, and an exact release date are expected to be announced by Konami later this year.
