Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse launches on Xbox and PC on 15 October
Konami’s new title comes to Xbox Series X|S and PC with Xbox Play Anywhere, developed with Evil Empire and Motion Twin.
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse will be available from 15 October on Xbox Series X|S and PC through Xbox. Xbox Play Anywhere lets owners play on both console and PC at no additional cost.
Konami publishes the game, developed in collaboration with Evil Empire, responsible for Dead Cells updates and DLC, and Motion Twin, the original Dead Cells creators. The partnership combines Konami’s experience with Castlevania and indie expertise in action roguelikes. Founded to handle Dead Cells updates and DLC, Evil Empire worked closely with Motion Twin, which advised on the project, providing a solid aesthetic and mechanical foundation.
A producer’s perspective
The documented facts are the 15 October release on Xbox Series X|S and PC with Play Anywhere, and Konami’s collaboration with Evil Empire and Motion Twin. A possible trade-off could arise from aligning art and gameplay directions between a traditional publisher and teams accustomed to a more flexible development cycle, potentially delaying final integration. Assessing that risk would require the shared milestone schedule and Evil Empire’s degree of decision-making autonomy.
