Konami has released the free Castlevania: Belmont's Curse demo today for all platforms with save data carrying over to the full release.

You can download the Castlevania: Belmont's Curse demo on Steam here, Switch here, PS5 here, and Xbox here. Note that while Konami has previously mentioned it being 60fps on all platforms with Switch being 30fps, the PC version has higher frame rate support than 60fps and the Switch 1 version on Switch 2 runs at a higher frame rate than the Switch 1 version played on Switch 1 in my testing.

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is an exploration-based 2D action game developed jointly by KONAMI, Evil Empire and Motion Twin. The story unfolds in Paris, France, in 1499—23 years after the events of the popular series entry Castlevania III. 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’. 

Pre-orders for both the physical and digital editions are now available. The digital or physical Midnight Editions of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse include alternate costumes for Rose Belmont, a Digital Sound & Art Gallery, and an in-game relic item. Pre-ordering or early purchase of any of the game edition will also award an extra Alucard-style costume for Rose Belmont.
