Castlevania: Belmont's Curse launches Oct. 15 at $29.99 on Steam
Konami's 2D action game arrives on PS5, Xbox Series and PC, with a free demo, a $39.99 Midnight Edition and modest PC requirements.
Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, a 2D action game from Konami made with the studio Evil Empire, launches Thursday, Oct. 15 on PS5, Xbox Series and PC. That is the date given by Konami and Xbox Wire. The Steam page shows Oct. 14, and it is unclear what time each store unlocks the game, so the safe plan is to count on the 15th and check the store the day before.
The standard edition costs $29.99 and the Midnight Edition $39.99, with pre-orders open. On Steam Mexico they cost 606.30 and 808.46 pesos. The Midnight Edition adds a digital sound and art gallery and three items inside the game. No peso price was found for PS5 or Xbox Series.
A free demo has been on Steam since Sept. 30, and its save data will carry over to the full game, according to the demo's page.
