Dead Cells creators are now making their own Castlevania game

A couple of years back, Motion Twin and Evil Empire teamed up with Konami to bring Castlevania content to their hit rougelike Dead Cells. Now fast forward to 2026 and the two studios are now collaborating with Konami once again, this time for an official Castlevania game. 

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is the first new Castlevania game since 2014. The game is set in 1499 Paris, where Trevor Belmont's successor wields the Vampire Killer to take down new supernatural forces.

While the game was announced during Sony's State of Play showcase, it is not a PS5 exclusive and will also be coming to PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse does not yet have a full release date but it is due to come out later this year.

KitGuru Says: Considering the success of the Castlevania Dead Cells DLC, I imagine this game will also do quite well.
