Konami will release a demo for Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse on October 1 that includes the opening chapter and allows save data to transfer to the full game on the same platform. The full title launches October 15 on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series, PS5 and PC, running at 60 FPS on all platforms except the Switch.
Players who complete the demo can carry their progress into the full version provided both are played on the same platform and account.
The title continues the Belmont lineage 23 years after Dracula’s Curse.
