Microsoft seems to be preparing another major premiere for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. A post appeared on the service's official account with games associated with the subscription. Among them, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse unexpectedly appeared, although Konami and Microsoft had not previously confirmed its appearance on Game Pass.
The video was filmed during gamescom 2026 and later deleted. In it, for each project shown, the author demonstrated a thumbs-up gesture. The same gesture appeared next to Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, which may indicate its addition to the service.
If the publication was not a mistake, the game will appear on Game Pass on October 15 – on the day of its release. There is no official confirmation yet.
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse returns to the classic 2D formula of the series with platforming exploration and dynamic battles. The main character will be Rose Belmont, daughter of Trevor Belmont from Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse. Medusa, Death, and Carmilla will appear in the game, and defeating bosses will allow players to obtain their Arcana and unlock new abilities.
