Confirmed

The boss roster

Death

A series regular, confirmed among the bosses Rose seals into her tarot deck.

Medusa

Confirmed by Konami's cast and boss material.

Carmilla

Returning Castlevania antagonist, confirmed for Belmont's Curse.

The Fallen

Named among the confirmed bosses.

Isaac

Returning from Castlevania III, confirmed as part of the cast.

Joan of Arc

A notable addition given the 1499 French setting, mixing historical imagery with the series' mythology.

Opening

The route through Paris

The opening runs from the docks through the streets and sewers of Paris. Three bosses hold three keys, and those keys open one large gate into the Catacombs.

A three-hour hands-on build shown to press in July 2026 covered exactly that stretch and ended on opening the gate — which means everything past it remains unshown. We do not publish route detail we have not played.

Questions

Is Belmont's Curse a roguelike?

No. Despite Evil Empire's roguelite background, Konami has confirmed a classic Metroidvania with save rooms, fast travel and key items.

How long is Belmont's Curse?

A developer estimate puts a solid completion run at 20 to 25 hours. The demo runs 15 to 30 minutes and its save carries over.

Does Alucard appear in the game?

Not confirmed. An Alucard Style Costume is tied to the pre-order offer, and Konami has been explicit that the costume is not story confirmation.

Is there a Switch 2 version?

No native Switch 2 version has been announced. The Switch release plays on Switch 2 via backwards compatibility.
