Castlevania Finally Returns with a Brand New PS5 Game in 2026

What a horrible night to have a curse

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!

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.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

This was the highlight of the show for me. I’m so happy Konami hasn’t forgotten about Castlevania, because for a long time I thought they had. This will be a day one purchase, and I love the title for the game.

Finally...after 100 years, Castlevania is back with a new game and it looks solid!

I'll give kudos to Konami for greenlight this project. Keep this redemption arc and they'll get my full trust again.

I'm so glad Konami finally stopped snorting cocaine, got off that pachinko craze and is finally giving us a new entry in the Castlevania series! I would have personally preferred something centered around Julius in his prime, but we're starved out here, so I'll take what I can get!
They also teased that a new metal gear is coming, and I just hope that they learned their lesson with Metal Gear Survive. Not sure if they can make a new MGS without Kojima, but it would be nice if they actually tried... And I mean ACTUALLY tried, not like what they did with Survive.

This trailer made me think that Konami is targeting fans of "indie metroidvania" type games that became popular well after Castlevania went dormant, rather than fans of Castlevania itself. The aesthetic doesn't scream Castlevania to me. And aesthetic is one of the most important things about Castlevania.

That being said, I am looking forward to playing this. I don't have PS5 (i'm normally on Nintendolife) but Konami would have to be extremely foolish to not release this for Nintendo.
