KONAMI and French developer Evil Empire have partnered to create Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, marking the first new entry in the Castlevania franchise in over a decade, according to reporting from Xbox Wire.

Evil Empire, known for its work on Dead Cells, previously teamed up with IP holder KONAMI to create the Return to Castlevania DLC for Dead Cells. This new project expands that working relationship into a full original title for the series.

A Dark Gothic Setting

The game opens in a dark, gothic interpretation of Paris, France. Ahead of the announcement, a hands-on press event was hosted at the Chapelle Sainte-Jeanne-d’Arc in the 14th arrondissement of Paris to preview the title.

Project Status

Full details regarding specific gameplay mechanics, a target release date, and comprehensive platform availability beyond the initial coverage have not yet been disclosed by KONAMI or Evil Empire.
