    Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Review: A New Belmont Takes Up the Family Business

    Castlevania: Belmont's Curse launches October 15 on Xbox Series X|S and PC with Xbox Play Anywhere, developed by KONAMI with Dead Cells studios Evil Empire and Motion Twin. In hands-on play, the writer calls it a return to form, with protagonist Rose Belmont wielding 7 weapon types and a whip that doubles as a grappling hook. Defeated bosses are sealed into tarot cards as Arcana, and their spells are upgraded through the Works of Mercy achievement system.

    Why this: The writer draws on hands-on play to break down the weapon, parry, and tarot systems, comparing the game with Dead Cells and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

    Digital Foundry Delivers Its Technical Analysis of Dragon's Dogma 2 on Switch 2

    Digital Foundry's technical analysis of Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen on Switch 2 finds the port arrives in "surprisingly good shape," with visuals that even surpass Xbox Series S in some areas and DLSS outputting 1080p docked and 720p handheld. However, none of the game's three graphics modes offers a frame rate experience DF can recommend, citing poor frame pacing at 30fps, VRR issues undocked, and worse input latency in the frame-generation mode. DF still credits Capcom for squeezing such a demanding open-world RPG onto Switch 2 hardware.

    Director Kitao Sakurai confirmed he is already writing a sequel to his upcoming Street Fighter film, continuing Ryu and Ken's adventures after the second World Warrior Tournament, but whether it gets made depends on how the first movie performs.

    Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Review: Great, But At a Cost

    Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is a great expansion that adds the new Norgan region with more loot, beasts, and stories, but its changes dilute what made the base game unique. The author notes that the Eternal Ferrystone and portcrystals across Norgan reduce how often you travel on foot, though you must still reach each one first to activate it. Those changes aim to make the experience more approachable, yet they also shift Dragon's Dogma 2 in a different direction.
