Castlevania... is back! And fortunately, it looks like it's back with some serious style.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is a brand new, traditionally-styled instalment in the classic series, and it's being developed by Konami, Evil Empire (Dead Cells, The Rogue Prince of Persia), and Motion Twin (also Dead Cells).

The game looks great in this reveal trailer, as our new red-headed protagonist battles through a series of dangerous locales. And yes, you come equipped with an all-powerful whip. It's about time!

The press release reveals:

"Medieval Paris, where the tolling bells herald the end. 1499, Paris is engulfed in flames as monstrous creatures suddenly emerge from the shadows. Armed with the legendary holy whip, the Vampire Killer, Trevor Belmont’s successor ventures into the burning streets and the looming castle to hunt down the beasts."

You can expect "satisfying whip action" which will enable you to "move around freely like a trapeze artist". But there'll also be a variety of other weapons in your arsenal, all of which will contribute to the title's "strategic" combat.

And don't worry, you can also expect the staples of the series, like secret chambers, colourful characters, and more. This, according to Konami, is the first of many new Castlevania games.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is due to release this year on PS5, but how do you feel about this revival? Whip it good in the comments section below.
