Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Release Date
Castlevania: Belmont's Curse launches on October 15, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. If your Steam page shows October 14, that is a timezone display quirk rather than a different date — explained below. A Switch version is confirmed but not yet dated.

Why some pages say October 14
Steam renders release dates in the timezone your account reports, so the same unlock moment can display as October 14 for some regions and October 15 for others. Konami's own announcements — and the console storefronts — use October 15. Exact unlock hours by region have not been published; when they are, this page will carry them. Until then, treat the storefront countdown on your own account as the authority for the minute it unlocks.

Release FAQ
When does Castlevania: Belmont's Curse release?
October 15, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam. A Nintendo Switch version is confirmed but has no announced date. Exact unlock hours have not been published yet.
Why does the Steam page say October 14?
Steam displays release dates in your local timezone, so an unlock moment that falls on October 15 in one region can render as the evening of October 14 in another. Konami's announcements use October 15. Both describe the same launch; we will publish exact regional unlock times if Konami or Valve confirm them.
Is there early access before launch?
No early access window has been announced for any edition. The Midnight Edition adds a soundtrack and art gallery, not early entry, and the pre-order bonus is a costume — see the editions page.
When was it announced?
February 12, 2026, during PlayStation's State of Play. The October 15 release date followed at the Xbox Showcase in June, alongside the opening of pre-orders.
