We Can Take A Small Bite Of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse Early

Overview & Key Takeaways

Konami has revealed that a free demo for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse will become available on October 1. Even better, progress from this early taste of the metroidvania title will carry over to the game's full launch, which is on October 15.

The Castlevania: Belmont's Curse demo will offer up the opening chapter, according to Konami. That likely means we see Rose and Trevor Belmont arrive in the burning city of Paris, before being split up. Then it's up to Rose to utilize her sword and magical tarot cards to take on classic franchise foes, like zombies and probably skeletons. The game will also let you turn tough bosses into powerful friends.

This small bite of Castlevania: Belmont's Curse will take up between 3GB and 6GB of storage space, depending on your platform. The smaller size is for Switch, while the largest is for PS5. However, the game will only run at 30fps on Nintendo's hybrid console; meanwhile, it runs at 60fps on Sony's system as well as Xbox Series X|S and PC. Here's hoping a Switch 2 version is in the works, though there's nothing official on that front.

Evil Empire Studio and Motion Twin are behind this newest entry in the Castlevania series, with the former previously working on the franchise with Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania. The latest project from Evil Empire was The Rogue Prince of Persia. However, even with this pedigree, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse isn't a roguelite.

Last month, Konami announced the voice cast for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. Dracula will sound familiar to fans of the Netflix Castlevania series, since Graham McTavish is reprising his role as the elder vampire.

Gears of War: E-Day Preload Times, Install Size, And Global Launch Dates

Several years have passed since the last new Gears of War game was released, but at long last, that drought is almost over. Gears of War: E-Day(https://www.gamespot.com/games/gears-of-war-e-day/) will be one of the early highlights of October, and if you're looking to rev your Lancer up and turn back the Locust tide, you can start playing really soon. Like other big upcoming games, you'll also have the option to preload Gears of War: E-Day, so you can jump right into the fray on launch day. Here's a closer look at the timing for this new chapter in the series. Gears of War: E-Day install size According to the official PC requirements(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gears-of-war-e-day-on-pc-wont-let-you-play-without-a-ray-tracing-capable-gpu/) for Gears of War: E-Day, the game will require 115GB of storage capacity on that platform. Xbox Series X|S install sizes are typically on par with PC, so overall, you'll want to make sure you have at least 100GB of free space available on your machine. That's a pretty noticeable increase in size, as the previous game, Gears 5, required a chunky 80GB of space when it was first released back in 2019. One other thing to note is that if you're planning to play on PC, the game requires a solid-state drive to be installed on. This is a mandatory requirement for the game to run optimally. Gears of War: E-Day preloading times Preloading will kick off on September 29 at the following times: - 11 AM ET - 10 AM CT - 9 AM MT - 4 PM BST - 5 PM CEST - 3 PM UTC - 5 PM SAST - 1 AM AEST (September 30) Gears of War: E-Day early access global launch times If you purchase the Premium or Collector's Edition of Gears of War: E-Day, you'll get a five-day headstart to play the game, starting October 1.  Early access will kick off at these times across the globe: - 11 AM ET - 10 AM CT - 9 AM MT - 4 PM BST - 5 PM CEST - 3 PM UTC - 5 PM SAST - 1 AM AEST (October 2)
