Castlevania Returns: Belmont’s Curse Delivers Parisian Demon-Hunt and a Joan of Arc Boss
Konami revives Castlevania with Belmont’s Curse, a 2D side-scroller set in 1499 Paris where Rose Belmont (Trevor’s daughter) fights through demon-infested streets and sewers using a revamped whip, earns XP to improve stats, and uses arcana spells earned by sealing bosses; developed with Evil Empire (the Dead Cells studio), it reimagines Joan of Arc as a shonen-style boss and adds puzzle-solving elements, with the Paris prologue hinting at a wider, more dangerous scope to come, and a release date of October 15.
