Konami is expanding its catalog of classic action titles with a new release that targets fans of the series and players looking for a fresh challenge on modern hardware. Castlevania: Belmont's Curse arrives this week on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC, giving gamers a chance to revisit the franchise's roots without needing legacy consoles. This release matters because it makes a historically significant entry in the series accessible to a wider audience through current-generation platforms.
Konami releases Simon Belmont sequel on five platforms this week
This title acts as a direct sequel to the original Castlevania, following Simon Belmont as he fights Dracula. Konami built the game to run natively on these platforms, allowing players to enjoy classic side-scrolling action with modern performance. The release covers major gaming ecosystems, including Sony's home console, Microsoft's current generation systems, Nintendo's hybrid handheld, and personal computers.
Castlevania: Belmont's Curse releases simultaneously on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, and Switch 2. The game joins a busy week of Japanese releases that includes RATATAN for PS5 and Switch 2, Tales of Eternia Remastered for multiple systems, and Enshrouded for PS5 and PC. This lineup shows Konami distributing its games across both established and new hardware.
The standard version of the game will be available on PC and consoles through digital storefronts. The release also coincides with other notable titles such as Valor Mortis for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC, and CONTROL Resonant physical edition for PS5. Nintendo fans will also see Just Dance: Decades of Hits launching on Switch 2 and Switch, alongside Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 coming to Switch 2.

This week's releases show a focus on classic and remastered games on modern hardware, keeping legacy titles relevant for new players.
