The story unfolds in Paris, France, in 1499—23 years after the events of the popular series entry Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and the recent animated show. Rose Belmont, daughter of the Dracula-slaying hero Trevor Belmont, sets out to defeat monsters whilst exploring the burning streets of Paris and Dracula’s castle, utilizing a variety of weapons and skills, including the sacred whip ‘Vampire Killer’. Trevor Belmont’s successor – and the game’s protagonist – must descend into the city attacked by monstrous creatures and a looming mystical castle to hunt down the beasts and save the Parisians from eternal darkness.

Long-time fans and newcomers to the franchise will have to master different weapons and spells to arm themselves against foes. Plus, a sense of exploration will favor the bold and those who dare explore every inch of the sinister castle.

A brand-new trailer debuted during the Xbox Games Showcase, featuring new gameplay, a first look at additional environments and bosses, and the original artwork created by acclaimed illustrator and manga artist Katsuya Terada. The trailer reveals Rose Belmont, daughter of Trevor Belmont, as she battles her way beneath the catacombs of Paris and the dark halls of Dracula’s castle, showing the game’s exploration-driven combat, gothic atmosphere and signature game mechanics. 

The iconic whip, a defining weapon of the Castlevania series, returns with renewed purpose. More than a weapon, it now serves as a vital tool for traversal, allowing players to swing across diverse areas to uncover hidden rooms, and reach previously inaccessible areas. Mastery of the whip’s mechanics also unlocks inventive combat possibilities, enabling players to strike enemies from unconventional positions.

The unique art style of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse builds upon the series’ signature gothic aesthetic, allowing players to discover the world of Castlevania like never before. New areas are rich with secrets and puzzles to uncover, alongside deadly traps that demand constant vigilance.
