This clarification followed the initial trailer that only highlighted a PlayStation 5 release, leading to speculation about a potential delay for Nintendo's console. According to GoNintendo, "Switch owners won't have to wait," as the game is confirmed for a simultaneous launch. The game is set 23 years after Castlevania: Dracula's Curse and follows a young Belmont on a new journey, as noted by an earlier leak on Famiboards.

The title is being developed by Konami in collaboration with Evil Empire and Motion Twin, the team behind Dead Cells.
