What’s Launching on PS5 on October 15?

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

Published by Konami and developed by Evil Empire and Motion Twin, this game begins in Paris, 1499, after a fire unleashes monsters into the city. Trevor Belmont and his daughter Rose hunt these creatures, but Rose soon finds herself caught in a dark conspiracy.

• Whip-focused combat.
• Boss fights featuring Death, Medusa, Carmilla, and Joan of Arc.
• The Arcana system: defeated bosses turn into tarot cards that grant new abilities.

The game launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A Switch version is set for 2026, with no specific date yet. There are Standard and Midnight editions, so check the store page for pricing details.

Crimson Desert: Charting the Unknown

The first story DLC for Crimson Desert is a paid expansion. According to VGC, you’ll be able to command your own ship, set sail for uncharted islands, and search for treasures and sunken ruins underwater.

• New storylines featuring Kliff, Oongka, and Damiane.
• New enemies and battles.
• An improved housing mode that allows for more customization and lets you rent and manage facilities.

VGC doesn’t specify all the platforms, but Siliconera lists Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC for October 15. Since this information hasn’t been double-confirmed elsewhere, check the PlayStation Store page before purchasing.

Tales of Eternia Remastered

Published by Bandai Namco and developed by TOSE, this remaster introduces quality-of-life upgrades like target markers, an option to disable random encounters, and a high-speed mode for auto-battle. Graphics and sound effects can be adjusted to keep the original feel. The battle system remains the classic A-LMBS.

RPGSite lists October 15/16, and Gematsu says October 15 in Japan and October 16 worldwide. If you’re in Turkey, expect the game on October 16.
