Konami Digital Entertainment - America announced that Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, the next installment of the popular Castlevania series, will be released on November 1, 2005, for PS2 and Xbox. While past Castlevania games have focused on the struggle between Dracula and the Belmont clan, Curse of Darkness introduces players to an entirely new storyline and main character - Hector, one of two Devil Forgemasters, who had once refined his skills under Dracula. With the help of the unique new abilities of Devil Forgery, Hector will be able to forge more than 30 evolving allies (Innocent Devils) who will help defeat a variety of powerful enemies. The allies will develop unique abilities ranging from those that can open heavy doors, to those that can help Hector fly, and will aid Hector in conquering various enemies, avoiding perilous traps and solving challenging puzzles.
