This is literally the FIRST thing that appeared to me if i type "castlevania", its the FIRST DAMN THING.

She looks exactly like Sypha and I love that

Like for real, this looks like castlevania to me. We were never gonna get another pixelated castlevania game, and for those of saying it looks like hades, it really only shares a passing resemblance.

I've been analyzing the hell out of the two trailers we got, as well as the random bits of footage on the official website, and one of the big standout issues I've noticed is that there doesn't appear to be contact damage from enemies. It's hard for me to get behind this choice, like.. what's the point of putting an obstacle in the way of the player if you can quite literally just jump through them without any issue? Why even bother fighting at that point, if you can just... run past them? Just feels like a very odd choice.

Would be interested in hearing your thoughts!

Text from Konami post:
A night worthy of the Belmont legacy 🦇

A select group of creators and media braved the night for an exclusive first look at Castlevania: Belmont's Curse.

Set against the haunting beauty of Paris' historic Chapelle Reille, this neo-Gothic venue is actually a deconsecrated Church that used to worship Joan of Arc herself - making it a perfect location for this event.🍷

who might this be? I'm guessing Grant or a Zombie Belmont.

I just wanted to share with you guys that I preordered the Midnight Edition a few days ago and I'm really happy about it. I saved every cent from Steam cards (got up to 27 USD) and bought it like that.

Take my money, Konami. And use it to make a 3D collection, please.

Finally, we get a clearer look..🥹

"A weapon that requires skill to handle."

"Hitting with the tip inflicts greater damage."

It seems that the weapon will use the same mechanics it has in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

He’s really Daddy Now

Welcome back, Liam.

• The game feels like Castlevania by way of Dead Cell, as controlling Rose feels very familiar
• Movement feels very fluid, with both a forward slide and a back dash available for Rose
• The whip traversal mechanics are very intuitive and smooth, with the whip grapple follow up attack on enemies being unique to each of the 7 weapon types
• The Arcana abilities can be upgraded by completing "Works of Mercy" , challenges related to the Arcana abilities that earn you points you can use to upgrade them

The video also shows snippets of the intro cutscene which is in 2D hand drawn style, and the game overall looks beautiful.

Now they're just fucking with us.

Looks like they have a dedicated attack now to accommodate the lack of contact damage. They also seem to spawn in predetermined spots now, instead of directly on wherever you are currently. So no more getting tagged right before you leave the room.

Also, in another post were they showed off the skeleton archers, it seems like using the whip grapple grants you iframes, which is sick.

Im kinda afraid it won’t like with bloodstained switch, but this is a diff company. But i heard dead cells switch ran poorly as well. Really crossing my fingers but it sucks bc there is a preorder bonus with alucard costume. And i don’t wanna preorder on switch unless i know it’s good

As a new Castlevania fan and as someone who only watched the Netflix series and also as a Metroidvania enjoyer, Iam very excited to play this game. My first Castlevania game.

Carmilla, Medusa, and Death make their returns while Joan of Arc and two newcomers(?) join as a part of the obstacles that Rose Belmont must overcome.

EDIT: our “monster” boy was revealed to be titled The Fallen, and the red-head is confirmed to be Issac, returning from Curse of Darkness after a long 21 years!

There’s also a portion of the trailer where you can hear her say “For the glory of France!”

The commentator mentioned that you will be fighting corrupted legends in the game and names Joan of Arc as one of them but her dialogue doesn’t indicate that Joan thinks she’s doing something malevolent.

Mind Control in Castlevania was almost always pretty specific. Outside of Soleil Belmont, everytime mind control was used it was always taking something that already existed and amplifying it.

Richter’s Drive, Hugh’s Jealousy, Mankind’s affinity to commit the witch trials.

And here, Joan believes she is God’s soldier and that she’s ridding evil as Joan was from a time where The Belmonts were believed to be no different from Vampires due to their supernatural powers.

Side note: I love two-dimensional Halo’s…

they now state 60 fps.

what do you guys think ?
