A new PlayStation State of Play is upon us, blessing us with plenty of trailers and big announcements – one of which is none other than Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, the first big 2D title in the beloved 40-year-old series in a long time.
Just in case you missed it, there is indeed a new Castlevania game underway – and it looks stunning. Set in medieval Paris, it follows a protagonist who could be anyone from Trevor Belmont's successor Richter to Sonia Belmont in the city under attack by monstrous creatures emerging from the shadows. Armed with the legendary holy whip, the Vampire Killer, our hero will take the bloodthirsty beasts on.
Not only is the nostalgia-inducing 2D art grabbing my attention, though, but the fact that the game is being developed by Konami, Evil Empire, and Motion Twin is. For anyone unaware, Motion Twin is the talented studio behind indie gem Dead Cells, while Evil Empire helped design the 2018 roguelike's Return to Castlevania DLC, as well as The Rogue Prince of Persia.
