Release Date and Platforms
August 26, 2026 at 04:49 AM
Added the August 2026 voice cast reveal and the gamescom 2026 showing to the announcement timeline, and recorded that no demo has been announced (2026-08-26)
Castlevania: Belmont's Curse launches on October 15, 2026, and every platform gets it on the same day. Konami has stated that date directly, and its own product listing renders it as 15-Oct-26.
Platform | Notes |
|---|---|
PlayStation 5 | Digital editions confirmed. No physical release is listed for this platform in the published retailer lists. |
Xbox Series X|S | Digital and physical. |
Xbox on PC | Digital. |
Steam (Windows) | Windows only. No macOS or Linux build is listed. |
Nintendo Switch | Digital and physical. Runs at 30 fps against 60 fps elsewhere. |
The game is single-player only. Konami has not announced a demo, and no demo listing appears on any of the storefronts. There is no announced version for any platform beyond the five listings above, and nothing has been said about additional hardware.
The Switch date arrived later than the rest and there is a superseded statement in circulation because of it. When pre-orders opened on June 8, 2026, Konami confirmed the date for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and Steam, and said the Nintendo Switch date would be announced later. Konami then set that date in an update to its own information feed on July 15, 2026: Nintendo Switch also releases on Thursday, October 15, 2026.
The later statement is the current one. Any material still saying the Switch date is unannounced predates July 15, 2026.
Some storefronts show October 14, 2026 rather than October 15. This is one global unlock rendered in different time zones rather than two dates: the listing that reads 14 October at 7:00 PM Eastern is midnight on 15 October in the United Kingdom. Konami's stated date is October 15, 2026.
Edition | United States | United Kingdom |
|---|---|---|
Digital Standard | $29.99 | £24.99 |
Digital Midnight | $39.99 | £34.99 |
Physical Midnight | Retailer pricing | Retailer pricing |
Konami has not published a Japanese recommended price in the material available, so none is listed here. Full contents of each edition are on Editions and Pre-Order Bonuses.
