Konami Posts Switch Build Details and Screenshots for Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse

The Switch page shows a 30 FPS target, modest download sizes and early images that draw criticism, which could shape player expectations before the October 15 launch.

Overview

  • Konami has confirmed Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse will launch on October 15, 2026 for Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and PC, and digital pre-orders are now available on the Nintendo eShop.
  • The publisher's Castlevania website specifies the Nintendo Switch build is targeting 30 frames per second while other platforms aim for 60 FPS, a difference tied to the console’s hardware limits.
  • Konami lists Switch file sizes at about 4GB for the standard edition and 6GB for the Midnight Edition, and notes English and Japanese audio plus text support for many languages.
  • Nintendo Switch screenshots released with the site update have prompted comments that the images look blurry or lower in resolution, and Konami notes the game is still in development so visuals could change before launch.
  • The game is being developed by Evil Empire with Motion Twin oversight, and although Evil Empire previously released a native Switch 2 build for The Rogue Prince of Persia, Konami has not confirmed a native Switch 2 version or upgrade path for Belmont’s Curse.
