Death

Quick answer: Death — Castlevania's signature Grim Reaper — is confirmed as one of the bosses in Belmont's Curse. His exact fight and Arcana are still to be detailed at launch.

Who is Death?

Death is the most recurring antagonist in the Castlevania series. He has appeared as a major boss in nearly every mainline game, wielding a scythe and serving Dracula's cause. If a Castlevania game has a final act, Death is usually part of it.

In Belmont's Curse

Death is confirmed as one of the six bosses (full list), returning for the game's 1499 Paris entry. Specifics of the fight — phases, weaknesses, parry windows — aren't published yet.

The Death Arcana

Defeating Death seals him into a tarot-card Arcana. Series tradition suggests a weaponized scythe ability, but the exact effect has not been confirmed. TBD.
