It looks like North America will not be getting a physical Midnight Edition. However, other regions will see a Midnight Edition that comes bundled with a steelbook. Select retailers will also stock a Rose Belmont tarot card. If these come stateside, we’ll be sure to update this article.
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is a 2D action-adventure game that takes place in Paris in 1499. You’ll play as Rose, the daughter of Trevor, wielding a variety of weapons and Relics as you attempt to slay a litany of monsters infesting the city. You’ll also go up against challenging bosses like Medusa, Death, and even Joan of Arc–and the combat looks just as frantic as ever.
When you’re not cracking your whip in combat, it can be used to traverse the environment and solve all sorts of puzzles. The entire thing is wrapped up in a stylized Gothic art style, and since Konami is working with Motion Twin on the project (the studio responsible for Dead Cells), hopes are high that this is a standout installment in the Castlevania franchise.
