Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse gets first Nintendo Switch screenshots, frame rate confirmed - Nintendo Everything

What the report says

Nintendo Everything reports that Konami’s upcoming Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse has received its first publicly shown Nintendo Switch screenshots after pre-orders opened on the Nintendo eShop this week. The site says six images are now available, offering the first look at how the Switch version appears in its current state.

According to the report, early discussion has focused on image quality, with some criticism that the Switch screenshots appear soft or blurry. Nintendo Everything cautions that the game is still in development and could change before release. The article also notes that Konami has not announced a Nintendo Switch 2 edition, even though developer Evil Empire’s The Rogue Prince of Persia did receive one.

A technical detail confirmed in the report is that Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is targeting 30 frames per second on Nintendo Switch, while other platforms are listed at 60 FPS. The game is being developed through a collaboration between Konami and Evil Empire, a studio known for work on Dead Cells and The Rogue Prince of Persia, making the project notable for longtime Castlevania followers.

Nintendo Everything also shared publisher-provided game details: the story is set in Paris in 1499 and follows Trevor Belmont and his daughter Rose as monsters overrun the city. Gameplay descriptions highlight whip-based movement and combat, boss encounters involving figures such as Death, Medusa and Carmilla, an Arcana system tied to tarot cards, and customization through weapons and relics. The Switch release is listed for October 15, 2026.
