General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse!!!
« Last post by Scarlet starlet on April 09, 2026, 04:01:45 PM »We got more details during the Triple-I showcase initiative.
-Double rapiers, spear and brass knuckles are available as weapons.
-Main way to heal is via rechargeable flasks like Dark Souls/Blasphemous etc.
-The "corrupted french knight" boss is Joan d'Arc. She becomes hostile after the main character reveals herself as a Belmont. Joan genuinely believes that the Belmont clan communed with evil and dark forces.
-The "werewolf" goes by the alias of The Fallen. The mc meets him early in the game and he appears to be as startled as Joan.
-Venice, specifically during the Carnival was the first idea for the setting, then they switched to Paris because they know it better.
-Dracula is going to be in the game and the events that lead to its resurrection are going to be quite unique.
-The team and Taniguchi stated that the story is inspired by Dracula's Curse, being some sort of continuation. The whip gameplay by SC IV, but they wanted to make it feel more "modern". The level design by SOTN. Curse of Darkness has also been mentioned. No mention of the Netflix show whatsover.
-No release date yet
(My theory) It seems like they want to expand Trevor's backstory and how he became the last surviving member of his clan.
Perhaps they want to give Transylvanian people a real reason to fear the Belmonts. Some of Trevor's family/ancestors could have done some seriously heinous acts and tainted the entire clan's reputation during the early 1400s or even earlier (Joan died in 1430). It is possible that The Fallen is a Belmont lost to darkness and left for dead. This also links back to the mc's curse, but why is it manifesting 23 years after CVIII? Is Trevor affected too?

Off Topic / Re: Music you've been digging lately

Hardcore Gaming 101 / Re: What game(s) have you been playing lately?
« Last post by JR on March 27, 2026, 10:40:35 PM »Just finished the Blasphemous II main game. Man, I really liked that one a lot. I really liked the hammer weapon (I really don't remember the weapon names, lol) for regular enemies and the lightning swords for bosses (with a few exceptions). Didn't really use the balanced sword that much though.
I really liked the way backtracking was handled on this one. It was so much better than the first one. I always wanted to go back and finish the DLC (since the ending was pretty great), but the instadeath spikes and tedious traversal made backtracking a chore. But in the sequel, the portals, and later a sidequest reward, both made it so much easier to collect things.
Just started the DLC. I think I'll start Lies of P after this.
I also played Robocop: Unfinished Business. I really liked this one. I still prefer Rogue City, but this wasn't too far off. One of the late game chips makes you practically invincible: autofire, high damage, no reloading. Kind of took the challenge away, but it was pretty fun being a walking machine gun turret for the last hour or so, lol.

Fan Stuff / Re: CHRONICLES OF THE WOLF
« Last post by Migami Games on March 20, 2026, 09:03:26 AM »Finally got around to playing this and it was great! Especially the music. If I had one primary complaint it's that it was a bit too easy, the postgame stuff was good though, especially the Bloodless fight with the four hit limit.
Thank you very much! It's really good to see some feedback on this forum!

We are not sure if this is the real last change by this point But We can always go ahead and improve the game's quality as much as we could do to the game.
The legacy must be carried on.

Yeah it's really sad but the real-life issue is cold. In the latest activities the dev also confirmed suspention of the development of vup.
