    PSA: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Free Demo Is Now Live, With A Frame Rate Boost On Switch 2 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Konami announced it a few weeks back, but we thought that a little reminder was in order: the Castlevania: Belmont's Curse free demo is now available!
