A demo for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse launches October 1, covering the game's opening chapter, with save data carrying over into the full release when it launches.

Konami have announced that players will be able to try Castlevania: Belmont's Curse for free via a demo, which is coming October 1, 2026, to all platforms.

Unlike a lot of demos that exist purely as a taster, Konami promises that your progress can carry over once the full game releases. Save data from the demo transfers directly into the full version, provided a few conditions are met: the demo and full game need to be played on the same platform and account, the demo save data has to still be present on that platform when transferring, and the full version needs to be updated to its latest patch first. Certain features and content are also noted as restricted within the demo itself.
