Konami's upcoming game, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, showcased a new trailer during the Triple-i Initiative presentation, highlighting the game's combat mechanics, locations, and protagonist, a whip-wielding Belmont. Developed by Evil Empire, the studio behind Dead Cells and the Return to Castlevania DLC, the game maintains the classic Metroidvania style rather than adopting a roguelike approach. The trailer offers fans a closer look at the Parisian setting, including a detailed depiction of Notre Dame, and introduces a corrupted version of Joan of Arc as a boss fight. While no release date was announced, the footage reassures fans that the game is staying true to the franchise's RPG elements and visual style. The community reactions are mixed: some praise the nostalgic gameplay and art direction, while others question the design choices and the portrayal of Joan of Arc. Overall, the trailer has generated excitement for the series' return in 2026, marking the first new 2D Castlevania
