October's most exciting new action game brings modern sensibilities to a beloved franchise that hasn't seen a proper entry in far too long.
The short version
- October is finally here, and it’s trying something a little different this year by featuring some of the year’s hottest new releases.
- We won’t see The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Grand Theft Auto 6 until November, but we don’t have to wait that long to have fun with some of the year’s most exciting games.
- One title worth watching closely, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse , is shaping up to be the month’s finest action game.
What happened
It combines elements of classic Metroid , like lots of corridors that only reluctantly give up their secrets, with the 2018 action platformer, Dead Cells . The results, judging by the all-too-brief demo Konami dropped on Thursday morning — and by a preview session attended by Polygon earlier this year — are nothing short of excellent.
Why it matters
The adventure opens as a grizzled Trevor Belmont rides in a rowboat with another adventurer.
