Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Gets A Free Playable Demo
A trial version of the game is now available, letting players sample a slice of the action ahead of the October 15 launch.
Castlevania: Belmont's Curse has received a free playable demo, giving players a chance to try the game before it launches on October 15. The sample offers a small piece of the full experience, letting fans get a feel for what the newest entry in the gothic action series has in store ahead of release. It is a familiar promotional approach for the franchise, and one that lets players decide whether the latest Belmont outing suits them without committing to a purchase on day one.
The demo arrives as anticipation builds for the launch, which continues a series with a long history behind it. Belmont's Curse is the latest title to carry the Castlevania name, and the free trial should help it reach players who prefer to test the waters before buying in. Bleeding Cool reported the demo's arrival, and those curious about the game can now try a portion of it while waiting for the full release to follow on October 15. Demos have long been used to build momentum before a launch, and offering one here gives the project a chance to win over sceptical players early.
