These are the questions I kept seeing next to the new title, answered only with the lines I could re-open on Konami, Steam, or the 1991 game's own record.
Update history
: Reviewed linked sources, availability and the scope of the answers below. Reported findings are distinguished from publisher specifications and editorial recommendations.
Out, sequel, studio
It is available as of 16 October 2026. Konami lists 15 October; Steam US responses differ between 14/15 October, as documented on the overview. Konami describes a new series entry and a story 23 years after Dracula's Curse, not a numbered entry. The official anniversary copy says more than 30 titles without providing a 26-mainline breakdown.
Konami's release announcement credits joint development by KONAMI and Evil Empire, with Motion Twin advising. Evil Empire worked on Dead Cells updates and DLC; Motion Twin created Dead Cells. That relationship does not establish identical mechanics. The 1991 Game Boy game Belmont's Revenge is a different title. See the disambiguation.
Demo saves
Konami's home-page information list dates its demo notice to 20 September 2026; the Steam Demo app separately displays 30 September. The official demo notes allow save transfer on the same platform and account, with the demo save retained and the full game updated to its latest version. Demo platforms listed there are PS5, Switch, Xbox Series X|S and Steam, not a separate Xbox on PC demo.
Yes, as of 16 October 2026. Konami displays 15 October and Available Now; Steam US responses differ between 14/15 October but both say it is available.
Is it the same developer as Dead Cells?
Konami and Evil Empire jointly developed it, with Motion Twin advising. Evil Empire worked on Dead Cells updates and DLC; Motion Twin created Dead Cells.
Is it Belmont's Revenge?
No. Belmont's Revenge is the 1991 Game Boy game, set in 1591 on the series timeline.
