Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse won’t be a roguelike or roguelite, according to Konami.

As for Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, head of communications Tommy Williams for Konami in the Americas has commented on what to expect. It’ll be an action adventure title, and it looks like we’re getting fully handcrafted experience here.

The game was thought to be coming to Nintendo Switch after a rating surfaced in Australia. Now thanks to today’s announcement, the news has been made official.

Evil Empire and Ubisoft have not yet announced whether The Rogue Prince of Persia will be making its way to Nintendo Switch. The game has been making preparations to launch on Steam, but amidst this there is evidence to suggest the game’s arrival on Nintendo’s console.
