Four official trailers carry Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, and all four come from Konami's own channel. Click any of them to play it here. The dates below are the video upload dates, read directly from the videos on October 2, 2026 rather than estimated from the month.
The four official videos
▶
▶
▶
▶| Trailer | Uploaded | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Announcement Trailer | February 12, 2026 | The reveal: Rose and Trevor, the burning city, and the first look at the whip in motion |
| Gameplay & Commentary Trailer | April 9, 2026 | The systems piece, with commentary over traversal, weapons and combat |
| Release Date Trailer | June 7, 2026 | The dated launch trailer, built around the October release |
| Bloody Tears Trailer | September 3, 2026 | The series' signature track used as a title, late-campaign footage |
Reading the dates correctly
Konami's news page lists these videos with Japanese dates, and YouTube reports Pacific time. On two of the four they land on different days of the calendar:
The Bloody Tears Trailer is dated September 4 on Konami's news page and September 3 on YouTube. The Release Date Trailer is June 8 on the news page and June 7 on YouTube.
Both are right. They are the same moment read in two timezones, which is worth knowing before you decide one of the sources is wrong. The upload times above are the ones attached to the videos themselves.
The Announcement Trailer's date lines up with the February 12, 2026 PlayStation presentation where the game was first shown, and the April trailer arrived in the middle of the preview period that produced the hands-on coverage this site draws on for weapon categories and Arcana abilities.
Media previews, listed separately
Three further videos circulate with this game's name, and none of them is a Konami upload. They are useful and they are not official trailers:
| Video | Channel | Uploaded | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official Demo Trailer | IGN | October 1, 2026 | A demo trailer cut by IGN, released with the demo |
| The First Preview | IGN | July 17, 2026 | Hands-on preview coverage of the opening hours |
| Standard vs Midnight Edition | URBAN GAMEPLAY | September 26, 2026 | A community guide to the editions |
The demo trailer is the interesting case: the footage is official material, but the upload is IGN's, which is why it is in this table rather than the one above. If you are comparing editions, the editions page covers the same ground with the store data rather than a video's framing.
Three ways to skip the videos entirely
The screenshot gallery captions every official still this site holds. The demo page covers the opening chapter, which is the section the April trailer walks through. * The release date page answers the question the Release Date Trailer exists to answer, with the timezone wrinkle included.
FAQ
How many official trailers does Belmont's Curse have?
Four, all published on Konami's own channel between February and September 2026.
When did the first trailer come out?
February 12, 2026, alongside the PlayStation presentation where the game was announced.
Which trailer should I watch first?
The Gameplay & Commentary Trailer, if you are deciding whether to buy. It is the only one that explains the systems rather than presenting them.
Are the IGN videos official trailers?
The footage is official and the uploads are not. IGN published the demo trailer and its own first preview. Both are listed separately on this page for that reason.
Why do Konami and YouTube show different dates for the same trailer?
Konami's news page uses Japanese time and YouTube reports Pacific time, so two of the four trailers fall on different calendar days in the two listings.
