Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Demo Hits October 1, Progress Carries Over

Ready to whip some vampires? Castlevania: Belmont's Curse just got a demo date, and it's coming sooner than you think.

On October 1, you'll be able to download a free demo of the game. The best part? Any progress you make in the demo will carry over to the full version when it launches. That means you can start your journey, level up, and not worry about losing your save data.

But there's a small catch if you're planning to play on Switch. According to the source, the demo will run at 60fps on everything except Switch. So PlayStation, Xbox, and PC players can look forward to buttery-smooth whip-cracking action. Switch owners will still get to play, but the frame rate might not be as high. It's a detail worth noting if you're sensitive to performance.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is the latest entry in the iconic series, and a demo is a great way to try before you buy. With save data carrying over, there's no downside to jumping in early. You can get a feel for the combat, explore a bit, and then continue right where you left off when the full game drops.

We don't have a release date for the full game yet, but the demo's October 1 launch gives us something to sink our teeth into. Whether you're a longtime Castlevania fan or a newcomer curious about the series, this is your chance to see what the hype is about.

So mark your calendars for October 1. Will you be downloading the demo? And if you're on Switch, does the 60fps difference matter to you? Let us know in the comments!
