Speaking to The Verge, Konami’s communications lead for America, Tommy Williams, verified that Belmont’s Curse will more or less be a standard Castlevania game. Few specifics about the game were provided by Williams, but it was said bluntly that it won’t be a roguelike in nature. As such, those who have been pining for an experience similar to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and the games that followed it on Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS should find it with Belmont’s Curse.
“Castlevania Belmont’s Curse is a 2D action-exploration game where players can freely explore vast, elaborately crafted maps,” Williams said. “It is not a roguelike or roguelite game.”
Belmont’s Curse Has Huge Potential
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is Konami’s latest effort to bring back one of its most lauded franchises. Over the past few years, the publisher has slowly started to revive the likes of Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid, which, alongside Castlevania, are easily the biggest properties that Konami houses. Now, it’s Castlevania’s turn to get a new entry of its own, which means that there is a lot riding on the shoulders of Belmont’s Curse.
