Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse won’t be on Nintendo Switch at launch

Konami and Evil Empire just set the release date for Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse today, but those interested in the Nintendo Switch version will need to wait a bit longer for the game.

On most platforms, the title is coming on October 15, 2026. However, in the most recent trailer posted on Bilibili, Konami confirms that the Nintendo Switch version is launching in 2026.

What that means is unclear. October is towards the end of the year, so Konami wouldn’t have a ton of time to release the Nintendo Switch version. We’re hoping that it won’t slip into 2027.

Also, there are still no plans for a Nintendo Switch 2 version. The game will work on the console through backwards compatibility.

Here’s an overview of the game:

1499. Paris is engulfed 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.

Will she succeed in saving Paris from devastation…?
