Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse Nintendo Switch Release Date Confirmed for October 15, 2026
Konami has confirmed that Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse will arrive on Nintendo Switch on October 15, 2026.
The announcement, posted to Konami’s official Japanese X account on July 15, 2026, updates earlier platform details provided when the game was first revealed in June during the Xbox 25th Anniversary Games Showcase.
Originally announced for Xbox Series consoles, PlayStation 5 and Steam, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse will now also be released on Nintendo Switch, Konami said.
The company did not announce a native Nintendo Switch 2 version as part of the update.
Developed by Motion Twin and Evil Empire, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is a 2D action-adventure set 23 years after the events of Castlevania III and follows a descendant of Trevor Belmont.
Konami’s release message clarified the platforms and the Switch launch date, confirming the game’s planned rollout across current-generation consoles and PC alongside Nintendo’s portable-hybrid hardware.
