Last month, I flew to Paris to play Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, the first mainline entry in the series in 12 years. Set in medieval Paris, Belmont’s Curse follows Rose Belmont as she battles all sorts of creatures of the night and unravels the mystery gripping the world following Dracula’s demise.
And I loved every second of it.
The preview itself took place in Chapelle Reille, a deconsecrated Neo-Gothic church that was once devoted to Joan of Arc. The place, with its high arched roof and stained-glass windows, was one of the most breathtaking locations I’ve ever visited, and getting to experience Castlevania there is something I will remember for as long as I live.
