French developer Evil Empire is following Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 by going all-in on injecting its culture into the upcoming Paris-set Castlevania: Belmont‘s Curse.

At the Triple-i showcase yesterday, we finally got another look at Castlevania: Belmont's Curse – Dead Cells DLC developer Evil Empire's take on the classic Konami series – and alongside new gameplay, the developers gave a brief commentary over the trailer to let fans know what to expect from the game. This helped give an idea of what the developers' intentions with the franchise are, and how it plans to bring its own spin on it, and turns out that is by being French.
