Konami has confirmed that Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse<\/a> will launch on 15th October 2026 during today’s Xbox Showcase.<\/p>\n

The thing is, you might have noticed that the Switch logo was missing from the line-up at the end of the trailer, raising a very important question: is it even coming to Nintendo’s console anymore? Well, worry not, it is… we just don’t know when, exactly.<\/p>\n

Konami has clarified<\/a> that Belmont’s Curse is heading to the Switch in 2026, but a release date and details on pre-orders will be announced “at a later time”.<\/p>\n

Of course, there’s every chance that details will be shared during the rumoured Nintendo Direct, which is supposedly said to be airing next week<\/a>. It seems weird, however, that Nintendo would want to host its own trailer given that Xbox has beaten it to the punch.<\/p>\n

The more likely scenario is that the Switch version needs more time in the oven, and so a firm release date has not been decided at the time of writing. Why Konami didn’t see fit to launch a native Switch 2 version is beyond us, but there we go.<\/p>\n

Either way, we’ll keep you posted!<\/p>\n

What do you make of this? Do you think we’ll see more from Belmont’s Curse soon via a Nintendo Direct? Share your thoughts with a comment.<\/p>\n
