Softonic echoed the positive tone, while Nintendo Life also disclosed the composer appointed for the project. GamesRadar+ highlighted a platform discrepancy, noting the decision to skip a Switch 2 release and quoting a former Nintendo marketing lead who called Konami’s handling “a little weird.” This critique contrasts with the largely affirmative coverage from Nintendo Everything, Softonic, Nerdvana Media and others, which focus on gameplay and soundtrack without mentioning the Switch 2 omission.

Konami’s tease that Belmont’s Curse “won’t be the end for Castlevania” suggests additional titles may follow, though no further details are provided in the current coverage.
